Ingredients

  • For the Cake:
  • cups (210 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon (5 g) xanthan gum (omit if your flour contains it)
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) aluminum-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) kosher or fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (160 g) shredded coconut
  • cups (340 g) butter, softened
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs , room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 mL) sour cream, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons (10 mL) pure coconut extract
  • For the Frosting:
  • 2 cups (250 g) powdered sugar
  • Pinch of kosher or fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter, softened
  • 4-6 tablespoons (60-90 mL) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) pure coconut extract
  • cup (30 g) toasted coconut or toasted coconut chips, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and generously spray a standard Bundt pan with gluten-free nonstick cooking spray, making sure to cover completely. Instead of nonstick spray, you can generously butter the pan and coat in gluten-free flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in the shredded coconut. Set aside.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs and mix on medium-low speed until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the sour cream and coconut extract until fully incorporated.
  • Add half the flour mixture and mix until mostly combined. Then add the remaining flour mixture and mix until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
  • Bake for 55-75 minutes or until a cake tester comes out mostly clean with a couple moist crumbs attached. Mine took 70 minutes but baking time will vary by oven and the size of the Bundt pan used (see notes).
  • Once the cake is baked, invert onto a cooling rack and let sit for 10 minutes before removing the pan. Then, carefully remove the pan and cool the cake completely before frosting.
  • To make the frosting, add the powdered sugar, salt, butter, 4 tablespoons heavy cream, vanilla, and coconut extract to a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to mix until combined. Add more cream, if needed, to reach your desired thickness.
  • Frost the cake and then garnish with toasted coconut.

Notes

Notes:
1. I used shredded sweetened coconut in this recipe but unsweetened will also work.
2. This recipe was written for a 10-inch Bundt pan, which is a relatively standard size. A 10-inch Bundt pan typically holds about 12 cups. Baking times will vary if you use a larger or smaller pan.
3. Store leftover cake, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
4. Make this cake dairy-free with vegan butter in place of the butter (I used Miyoko’s) and dairy-free unsweetened plain vanilla yogurt in place of the buttermilk (I used Forager Project Cashewmilk Yogurt).
