Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
- 0.75 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups (480g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
- 1.5 cups (120g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup (150g) small candy chocolate eggs
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with butter and a dusting of flour.
- Beat softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually mix in flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with coconut milk and vanilla extract. Fold in 80g of shredded coconut by hand.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and pale. Gradually add powdered sugar on low speed, then increase to medium-high until fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream if needed for consistency.
- Toast 120g of shredded coconut in a small skillet until golden brown.
- Frost the cooled cake, applying the toasted coconut to create 'nest' ridges and place candy chocolate eggs in the center.
