MILE-HIGH HOMEMADE COCONUT CAKE | The best!!!

For the full recipe and post:
Creamy coconut custard sandwiched between layers of fragrant white cake, topped off with a billowy frosting – enjoy this dreamy MILE-HIGH HOMEMADE COCONUT CAKE!
RECIPE BELOW!!!
You simply have to trust me, if I can make this extraordinary MILE-HIGH HOMEMADE COCONUT CAKE, so can you. Yes! YOU can make this fabulously flavourful, show-stoppingly gorgeous, heavenly dessert.
I’m going to breakdown the process into the key components and give a few insights into each. This recipe is written as a step-by-step tutorial, so don’t worry; just follow the recipe as written and success will be yours.
COCONUT JOY
Because coconut is the principle flavour for this dessert, you’re going to need to source the good stuff. Call your favourite purveyors in advance to make sure they have unsweetened coconut, in both shredded and flaked varieties, plus pure coconut extract. If organic versions are available, use them. You’ll taste the difference.
SOME CAKE
I found a really straightforward recipe for a white cake in my mom’s recipe box. We were more of a chocolate cake crowd when I was growing up, so her white cake recipe held no memory amongst my faves. I tested a few versions until I got it right. It’s super easy as far as homemade cake recipes go, but I do have one “don’t miss” moment: add pure coconut extract. It certainly adds flavour but more importantly, it gives this simple coconut cake recipe a heady fragrance.
DREAM CREAM
The little added bonus for this recipe is the creamy coconut custard that goes between the layers of cake. You can make it while the cakes are baking in the oven. Although you might expect a smooth custard, I changed the texture by stirring in some shredded coconut. Remember this when you take your first bite - it plays off the moistness of the cake and adds yet another pop of flavour.
DAM IT!
Pay close attention to the way I create a dam of frosting along the outside of cake layers before adding the custard. It might seem like a fiddly extra step but it’s important if you want to avoid the golden colour of the custard from mixing in with the white frosting.
SEVEN-MINUTE FROSTING

ALL TOGETHER NOW!
My only suggestion on assembling this MILE-HIGH HOMEMADE COCONUT CAKE is to go slow. Give yourself time so there’s absolutely no reason to rush. I suggest you do as I did: before assembling, get everything you need at the ready, stop, take a huge deep breath and proceed with confidence.
Thinking of dessert? This MILE-HIGH HOMEMADE COCONUT CAKE is a dream!
