Coconut cake with jam is an exquisite delicacy suitable for any celebration. The following ingredients are required to prepare this dessert:
Ingredients
125 g of soft butter, 220 g of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 3 large room-temperature eggs, 260 g of cake flour, 3.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 125 ml of milk, 200 g of strawberry jam for decoration, 30 g of coconut flakes for decoration, and 500 ml of custard cream for serving.
Preparation Method
First, preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a 20x30 cm baking pan by greasing it with butter and dusting with baking powder or lining it with parchment paper.
Sift the flour and baking powder together and set aside. Then, using a mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, beating thoroughly after each addition to ensure the batter is smooth and not curdled.
Gradually incorporate half of the flour into the batter, gently folding the mixture, then add half of the milk. This process is repeated with the remaining flour and milk.
Pour the resulting batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove it to a rack and allow it to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, decorate it with strawberry jam and coconut flakes, slice it, and serve it with warm custard cream.
