Discover My Random Coconut Cake Recipe! 🥥🍰
Sometimes the best creations happen on a whim, and this Coconut Cake was one of those delightful experiments that turned out amazing! I started with a simple white cake mix and decided to give it a tropical twist. The result? A soft, moist, and flavorful coconut cake that’ll make you think of sunny beaches.
Here’s how I did it:
Ingredients
• 1 box of standard white cake mix
• 3 large eggs (as per package instructions)
• 1 cup coconut milk (substituted for water)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (as per package instructions)
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• A splash of vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on the cake mix box (typically 350°F/175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, coconut milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Gently fold in the shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
4. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan or lined cupcake tins.
5. Bake for about 30 minutes (or as directed on the box) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
The Result
This cake turned out incredibly moist with the perfect hint of coconut in every bite. The shredded coconut added a subtle chewiness that paired perfectly with the soft cake. I didn’t even need frosting—it was delicious on its own!
If you’re feeling fancy, you can top it with whipped cream, a dusting of more shredded coconut, or a drizzle of coconut glaze.
