  • EXTRA COCONUT CAKE. Three layers of fluffy coconut cake, rich and moist, light and airy, unapologetically full of coconut. It’s extra in every way-- extra coconut (there’s coconut oil AND shredded coconut in the batter, toasted coconut flakes to coat the outside), and visually, it’s really SOMETHING (layered, towered, fuzzy, glorious, light, airy-like a cloud, or a sweater). Chef’s kiss. This is not a casual cake, not a one bowl cake, not an “easiest ever” cake. This cake takes a bit of planning and a small amount of effort, but such a cake would stand for nothing less. You WILL need cake pans (two 8” or three 9”), SHOULD have an electric mixer (stand mixer or handheld), and I WILL ask you to cool the cakes completely before frosting. Patience is a virtue.

    All the little tips you don't see in written recipes (otherwise a recipe would be its own book) are what make these videos so valuable. The voice of experience cannot be replicated by any means other than hard-won experience.

    Hi Alison! I just want to say thank you for inspiring me always. I am now the assistant pastry chef at a restaurant and I am literally living my dream. This cake looks so amazing and our house Carrot Cake has toasted coconut around the edges so watching you decorate such a stunning cake at home was SO satisfying! Love to you always!!!🧡

    Hi Alison, love the growth and fresh things you share with us, but I just have a teenie tiny feedback as a person who's having a hard time focusing on things 99% of the time. One difference with this new format, is the addition of a background elevator style music that's really taking me out. It's really hard also to focus on the instructions, the music signals you to "it's a montage" but it's actually not. Also with the jump cuts and hyperfocused shots..we see bowls and tools, and part of the food. and the change of camera style with the shaky effect, the quick zoom and upper torso with no hands shots. :) In my little opinion as a long time fan and follower since half a decade maybe. It's just hard to follow these new videos. How do you say it in a nice but constructive way. uhm. theyre just very hard to focus on. Again, apologies for the unsolicited feedback. Love you so much Virgo queen!
    but if people get mad, and more people like this style..I will delete this, I promise.

    I'm loving this video. It reminded me of Danish coconut "dream cake", i.e. "drommekage" which I eat from my Danish workplace's cafeteria whenever the 3pm craving strikes. Give it a try sometime. This video also reminded me of Pittsburgh's Pranl's burnt almond torte. The two American ones might be in commeptition for my next birthday cake ;-)

      They are so handy! You can use them to pick up cut vegetables or other ingredients that are on your cutting board or counter top, use them to scrape out mixing bowls, and even for cleaning up your work surface when you’re done cooking/baking! I have tons of them in my baking drawer. I even have one by my sink to scrape out baked on messes ☺️

    for those of us who are unable to not tinker with recipes - where we thinking we could incorporate some passionfruit curd/puree per say lol? instead of the cream cheese between layers?

    • @Gap2th
      @Gap2th День тому +1

      I actually did a coconut and passion fruit cake in culinary school (not this exact cake of course) this was in like 2011. But I recommend going with the curd and making it fairly thick and icing between the layers.
      My first run I didnt have the thickest of curds and didn’t ice between so i didn’t get the most defined layers because the curd started soaking into the cake some (still absolutely delicious) but I didn’t have as defined of a layer of curd as I had hoped on that run…
      Also after that fix, and icing the whole cake I took fresh passion fruit and put it over and let it run down almost like a pavlova.
      But 100% recommend going for it! Best of luck!
