Description

 

Making a cake

Preheat oven to 175 °C (350 ° F) and well grease a bunte cake pan or tube cake pan.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one by one, whipping well after each addition.

Add vanilla extract, buttermilk, and sour cream and stir until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture little by little at a time and stir until smooth and lump-free.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.

Bake for 55-65 minutes until smell-free when inserted through the middle with a toothpick. Cool in the jar for 10 minutes before demolding, and place on a grid to cool completely.

 

Caramel glaze

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring constantly.

Add the milk and continue stirring until the mixture comes to a slight boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and add vanilla and a pinch of salt.

Cool for a few minutes until the frosting reaches a thick but flowable state.

Pour the frosting over the completely cooled cake and let it set before cutting.

Ingredients

1 white (or yellow) cake ready mix, prepared according to package directions

1 can (400 ml) of coconut milk

1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (whipped cream)

Production instructions

Prepare the cake according to the package directions and bake in a rectangular pan (9 x 13 inches).

Once baked, let the cake cool for 5-10 minutes. Then, use a wooden spoon handle or thick chopsticks to poke small holes all over the surface of the cake.

Mix the coconut milk with the condensed milk and pour it slowly over the cake, making sure the liquid seeps into the holes.

Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) to fully absorb the aroma of the cake.

Beat the heavy cream with rock sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form before serving.

Drizzle the cake with whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted shredded coconut.
