Coconut Cloud Cake is a light and fluffy dessert with a wonderful coconut flavor. It’s perfect for coconut lovers and makes for a great treat for any occasion. Here’s a simple recipe to make this delicious cake:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs (separate yolks and whites)
  • 1/2 cup milk (can use coconut milk for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional for more flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or line it with parchment paper for easy removal).
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Whisk Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil) until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. The batter will be thick, and that’s okay.
  5. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly add in 1 tablespoon sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; this step will give your cake its light, airy texture.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Make Whipped Cream: While the cake is cooling, beat the heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and coconut extract (if using) until soft peaks form.
  10. Assemble: Once the cake has cooled, frost it with the whipped cream and sprinkle some additional shredded coconut on top for decoration.

Serve and Enjoy!
