Brooklyn Diner Coconut Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups sifted cake flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter at room temperature
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). Next, take a moment to prepare your cake pans by lightly coating them with butter and dusting them evenly with flour.
2
Now, let's move on to mixing the dry ingredients - cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine these in a separate bowl to create the foundation of your cake batter.
3
In another large mixing vessel, use an electric mixer on medium speed to cream the butter until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency. Then, one at a time, incorporate the eggs into your mixture.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to your butter and egg mixture in small increments, alternating with coconut milk. Finally, stir in the almond extract for added flavor.
5
Divide your cake batter evenly among the three prepared pans and bake them in the preheated oven until they are lightly golden brown, taking approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
6
To check if the cakes are done, insert a wooden toothpick into the center of each cake. If it comes out clean, your cakes are ready to be removed from the oven.
7
Finally, allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to complete their cooling process.
