Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. |
| 2 | Grease and flour a 9-inch tube pan, ensuring even coverage. |
| 3 | In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. |
| 4 | Gradually add one cup of flour to the creamed mixture, ensuring thorough incorporation. |
| 5 | Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the almond and vanilla extracts. |
| 6 | Gently fold in the remaining cup of flour and the shredded coconut until well combined. |
| 7 | Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it evenly. |
| 8 | Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning. |
| 9 | Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. |
| 10 | While the cake is still hot, prepare the glaze by combining the remaining 2 cups of sugar with 3 tablespoons of water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture forms a thick syrup. |
| 11 | Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack. |
| 12 | Brush the hot cake generously with the prepared sugar glaze, allowing it to soak into the cake. |
| 13 | Loosely cover the cake with foil and let it rest at room temperature for at least 24 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the cake to attain its supreme texture. |
| 14 | When ready to serve, slice this indulgent coconut cake into thin, tempting slices, and enjoy the divine flavors that await! 🍰 |
Notes:
- Ensure the cake is thoroughly cooled before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting away.
- For best results, resist the temptation to slice and serve the cake until it has matured for at least 24 hours.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days to maintain freshness.
Indulge in the sumptuousness of Coconut Cake Supreme, a dessert that promises to satisfy every sweet craving and leave a lasting impression on your taste buds! 🥥✨
