Ingredients
Makes about 12 servings
Almond Sponge Cake
6 large eggs, room temperature
Pinch of salt
1 cup (200g) sugar
1 cup (100g) ground almonds
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5g) almond extract
White Chocolate Coconut Frosting
7 oz (200g) white chocolate
3 tbsp (45g) canned coconut milk
9 oz (250g) Mascarpone cheese, room temperature
2 cups (500g) whipping cream, 35%fat, chilled
1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp (5g) coconut extract
Assembling and decorating
1 cup (240g) canned coconut milk
unsweetened shredded coconut
Chopped almonds, optional
Raffaello truffles, optional
White chocolate curls, optional
1. Preheat oven to 340F (170C). Grease and line bottom and sides of a 9 inch (23cm) pan with parchment paper.
2. Separate egg whites from yolks. Add a pinch of salt over the whites and start mixing until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
3. In a small bowl mix egg yolks with almond extract and fold them into the whipped whites.
4. Gradually add ground almonds and flour and carefully incorporate into the batter.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until lightly golden.
7. Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
8. Meanwhile prepare the frosting. Place chocolate and coconut milk in a heatproof bowl and let it melt over a pan with simmering water.
9. In a large bowl mix Mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add melted chocolate and mix until combined.
10. In another large bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Incorporate powdered sugar and coconut extract.
11. Gradually incorporate whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture. Fold in the shredded coconut. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
12. Assemble the cake. Divide the sponge cake in 3 layers. Place one cake layer on your serving plate.
13. Spread ⅓ cup coconut milk over the cake layer. Spread evenly with a bit less than a third of frosting. Repeat with the second layer of cake. Add the third layer of cake and spread with the last ⅓ cup of coconut milk. Spread the remaining frosting on top and sides of the cake.
14. Sprinkle shredded coconut on the top and sides of the cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.
15. Decorate as desired, I’ve used Raffaello truffles, white chocolate curls and chopped almonds.

Made this masterpiece, one word, PERFECTION. It was like biting a cloud, highly recommend it.
I have only 19% fat in the whipping cream will it still work?🙄
@@jss2256 if it whips itll work i think....
I made this tooo !!! It was amazing !!!! I am going to make it again for Easter tomorrow
It was sweet?
@@jss2256 nop you have to have 30 or 35%fat
I made it!!!!. I can't thank you enough, it was a complete success. After 2 days they are still texting me saying how nice it was and how good I am at making cakes. :) :) I didn't take the merit, I told everyone to look at your channel, the only thing I changed from your recepie was the kind and amount of sugar in the sponge cake. I used half of the sugar in the egg whites and added 100g of raw coconut sugar to the mix when adding the ground almonds. It turned out fantastic. I didn't have coconut extract so I used 50g of pure coconut milk when whipping the cream (so I used 450g of whipping cream) to give it a coconut flavour. Turned out very delicate in flavor. It was amazing. Thank you soo much. Oh and by the way if anyone was wondering, I baked it with a static oven. Greetings from Italy
iLoveGuitar thanks so much for making the cake and giving us a review! I want to try this as well
Thank you for your reply and thanks to Home Cooking Adventure for her recipies. :) I love baking and I find these recipies interesting. Have a nice day :)
I can't get my hands on coconut extract so I was so glad I found this comment. I'll try it with the coconut milk instead, thanks :D
iLoveCooking hello can you tell the size of pan you had use as its not mention on recipe
I only have a 22cm baking pan. Would that be okay?
I have been making this cake for 2 years now and it has become my favourite recipe. I never had any technical problems with it and people literally love it, I have so many compliments for this cake and they ask me to do it again and again. It is so perfectly balanced, very light, not too sweet, just amazing! Thank you so much for such a great recipe, Ella, it is my cake number 1 now 😊
Dear @Home Cooking Adventure, I've just made this cake for family and friends and EVERYONE loved it. There is a family friend, a man who doesn't like creamy desserts (he has difficult taste in food), even he complimented me. Thank you very much for your recipe.
God bless you.
Love from Armenia.
I baked this delicious cake for my husband on his birthday. He has always told me to bake a „Raffaello cake“. The cake was a success in all. He loved it. Thank you for posting such an elegant and more than delicious cake. Perfect for people with Raffaello Passion
Congratulations. I'm a Cooking Teacher for 35 years and your videos and recipes are the one of the most beautiful I ever seen. Everything is fine including the music. And gives us the wish of tasting it instantly. Thank you for elevate my soul.
I’ve made it twice. Just about to do a third one. Mine took 30 mins to bake too. What a fabulous recipe and tastes divine. Thanks so much for sharing.
I want to say thank you. This cake is not easy, but I decided to make it anyway, I prayed before cutting it into layers, I did one layer, that was more than enough, and I succeeded. After I was done, my husband and my kids, even the one that doesn’t care for dessert, said that it was really good. So again, thank you so much.
Making this one again. It’s absolutely fabulous and unlike other vids, when your cake comes out of the oven it actually looks exactly like the one on this video. Following the step-by-step guide means it looks exactly the same as the one on video. Check out the carrot & salted caramel cake recipe too - also fabulous! A firm family favourite which I’ve made on many occasions. Well worth the effort. Thank you so much. Xx
When I bake a cake I always come back to this one. Total perfection and everybody loves it😍
I made this for my son’s birthday and everyone absolutely loved it. A must try recipe!
Just made this! I'm shocked at how light the cake is it's absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much
I’d like to say a big thank you for this recipe. I’ve already made it three times and it turns out amazing. The only thing that I changed was to add almond flour instead of crushed almonds and it made the sponge cake a little more even and also combined whole milk with coconut milk to moisten the layers of the cake when assembling.Thank you for the recipe
This feedback has been most helpful and because of it, I will bake the cake very soon since I was hesitant about using coarsely grounded almond and I thought that the coconut milk/cream alone might be too stark for my particular guests. Thank you.
thank you for this valuable feedback👍👍
I discovered tour channel a few years ago but never had the courage to try this recipe. This cake looks so elegant that I didn't want to ruin it. I think I am going to give it a go because life's too short to miss a good cake!
This is the best cake I made so far. Made this for my husband's birthday and people went crazy over it. Many thanks for sharing such amazing recipes all the time. ❤️
I've made this cake twice already, plan to make it a third time. Both times were an absolute hit. People were asking me how to make it and I linked them to this video.
It's delicate, not too sweet and not that difficult to make either, provided you have some experience with folding.
Tried this cake yesterday. Came out so so delicious. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. The icing tastes yummy. Thanks again!
My daughter loves raffaello.. so I tried this cake for her 4th birthday.. everyone loved it.. ❤ such a great yet easy recipe..!!
FINALLY a cake recipe without a ton of butter! Thank youuu
I should have used this instead of the one with the ton of butter

@@Homecookingadventurerecipes Can we use homemade coconut milk? Pls Reply.. I really wanna make it
I made this cake and it came out so good... Sweetness is perfect and guests were so impressed. I love the way you decorate the cake. Mine was done by 30 mins in the oven. Mixing the egg white until foamy took some effort but worth it. Thanks a lot for this recipe.
Holy Coco-Nuts!! 😄😄😄😄! That is what dreams are made of I am certain!
Made this cake for my husband’s birthday...Absolutely delicious and was a huge hit. Everyone loved it...Best cake I have ever made...Thanks for the recipe...
I am making today for my husbands birthday
I love every thing about this video starting from the cake design, to the filling, moving to "filming", ending with the beautiful music 😍😊
Watching this video is like watching a sweet love story with happy end but you still don't want it to end because it takes you to some sweet romantic place, despite the distracting noise from my 19 month old baby in the background 😂😂😊
Thank you
Aida
I love this video as well, so relaxing
I made this yesterday and it was a massive hit!! Everyone loved it. For anyone wondering, the cake can be done the day before serving. I made it yesterday afternoon for this morning and it was perfectly fine in the fridge overnight. Also there is no butter/oil in the cake batter but it is still very moist and really nice..
Gwendoline Carrié Was the cake really moist. I’m thinking of making this for my sisters birthday. I hate dry cake. Did it really taste like the candies.
@@Appaddict01 the cake was really moist. I was very surprised! You have to make sure you don't deflate the egg whites. And mine was a lot more "yellow" than hers cause I used ground almond I bought. I didn't ground my almond . The cake was a real hit and tasted amazing, like the candy without the crunchy side :)
Gwendoline Carrié Thanks for answering. I was skeptical if the fat from the almonds & egg yolks. Was enough to keep the cake moist.
How can i get off the bad smell from eggs?
This is one of the best recipes I've ever tried. I was just looking at the cake and smiling just like crazy girl. I'm so happy to have tried it. I've just subscribed to your channel. Thank you.
I am thinking about making this for my mother on mothers day. She absolutely loves all things coconut.
Hello Home cooking adventure, just wanted to let you know that I've made this cake for my birthday & just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your recipe. My family love it & my sister cut half of it & took it home....how rude!!😁 without even asking!!😄😄 Anyway doesn't matter, she's my sister. That's how much she like it!! She stole it. Thank you, that Almond cake is amazing. I'II definitely make this again. Grazie Ciao Ciao 🤗
Made this cake for husband birthday yesterday. It was soooo yummy. Thx a lot dear for this amazing recipe. Instead of shredded coconut usee fresh grated coconut. Wooow everybody luved it 😘
YOU ARE AN ARTIST !
I tried it todaw for my father's birthday, it was delecious.
I used regular milk instead of coconut milk because I could'nt find it but it came out very good, very similar to the raffaello truffles.
Thank you very much for this amazing recipe
Seriously, this is poetry in motion. Nothing less than that. 😅
MsScorpyscorp ..
Raffaello is my favorite candy. My mom has bought it for me at Christmas and on my birthday for many years. I've been looking for a beautiful and delicious cake to make this Christmas and it looks like I have found it! Thanks so much for sharing!! Cant wait to try it!!
I made it . This is one of the best recipe . Thank soooo much darling
Can you taste the coconut?
The most charming recipe channel on UA-cam!
I’ve tried this cake and it’s amazing.Not too sweet,it’s fluffy,moist.I highly recomand it!
Omg I made it and tasted amazing 😋
I added white vinegar so the smell of egg is naturalized, it's soft, moist and yummy
I thought it will be too sweet when i tasted the frosting but after I added it to the cake and put it in the fridge it became balanced
congrats on the 700K subscribers 😍 really proud to see this channel growing :)
thank you:) we are so happy too
Home Cooking Adventure There is an alternative to mascarpone cheese
soso soosoo cream cheese?
😊
Well I made this cake, whit a few variations: On the sponge cake I used Amaretto and coconut rum like 5 grms each, and used 100 grm of semi melt butter; the smell and the texture was really great. I used also coconut rum on the frosting and the coconut milk was fresh on the assembling. Truly love it. Thanks for your video, really inspiring.
sounds absolutely great:)
made it and everyone loved it! thank you :)
Just made this cake and it turned out great.
Sponge cake is like a pillow, soft and moist. Perfect combination of almond and coconut.

We tried this out and it was so good! This is one of the best cakes we've ever tried. I made homemade truffles for the top of the cake and it looked amazing! It makes a very big cake and is great to share!
Isn't 200 g too much sugar tho? Or is it perfect
I spend about 50$, made it for my birthday. now my sister in law ask me twice to make it, and I'm about to make it again. so delicious. I love it wasn't too sweet.
I fall in love with this vidio, I love the music, how u blend all ingredients, so amazing.
Did it and it was just amazing !!! I reduced the sugar by 50 g for the sponge and used only 20g sugar in the whipping cream. Will definitely give it a 2nd try.
I'm from the Middle East, I love your videos and I'm not good in English, but I love your videos😍😙

You think I can replace the mascarpone cheese for cream cheese?
Mariely Nieves, I’m not the chef, but you can usually use cream cheese to replace mascarpone. It may not be identical in taste, but it should still be wonderful.
I made this only with a litten less of the white choclate becaus it is to sweet for me and i used 26°cm cake pan. It was AMAZING!!!! you don't have to change anything because it is so delicous🥰🤲 Thanke you
Amazing Awesome Great Creation,Simply Genius
thank you:P
Just made it! I had to use Lindor white chocolate because I didn't find white Raffaello truffles on the market. Next time. I'm tired, but it came out really nice. I love your channel! Thank you!

Can you tell the song title , please ! Thank you 🤗
this cake looks soooooooooooo softttt!!! dont remember seeing any soft cake like this before.
Such a great cake! It ticks both of my requirements for a dessert - it looks good and it sounds delicious!
I'm writing from Ukraine. The cake turned out well, very, very tasty. Thanks for the recipe.
Awesome 👍
I love chocolate 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘 ua-cam.com/video/sBgWOsd0xug/v-deo.html
I made this cake for my daughter's first birthday and everyone loved it! It has the perfect amount of sugar, even my dad, who never eats sugar loved it.
I noticed that there is no baking powder nor bicarbonade powder. Do you use self raising flour instead? only all purpose flour is used here?
@@marino27m Nope. I don't know the chemical or baking way to call it, but the whisked egg whites into stiff peaks help fluff up the cake without baking powder. I used all purpose flour just like the recipe.
Thank you
@@marino27m You're welcome! Happy baking!
Bonsoir félicitations encore un très beau gâteau, idéal pour les fêtes de Noël, merci pour cette belle recette
Cordialement
Johanne ❤❤🌹🌹
Bonjour ma belle, tu vas bien? Merci pour ton coeur, passe une excellente journée bisous ❤❤💋💋🌹🌹
I made it. It's delicious! The frosting is amazing and the cake is soooo good. I love how instead of sugar and water you used coconut milk to soak the cake :)
is there anything else to replace the mascarpone cheese?
cream cheese?
Home Cooking Adventure I was going to ask the same question! My hubby loves coconut and I'd LOVE to surprise him on his birthday with this. It would be so so perfect. But unfortunately he's allergic to cheese! ( not dairy just cheese) is there anything else I could substitute the mascarpone cheese with? :((
