Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease mini bundt pan thoroughly, getting into all swirls. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. -
Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy. -
Add Eggs & Wet Ingredients:
Beat in eggs one at a time. Then mix in coconut cream, sour cream, and vanilla until just combined. -
Combine Dry & Wet:
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on low just until flour disappears. Fold in shredded coconut by hand. -
Fill & Bake:
Spoon batter into pan cavities, filling ¾ full. Bake 18-22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. -
Cool:
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire rack. Cool completely before glazing. -
Glaze & Garnish:
Mix powdered sugar and 2–3 tbsp coconut cream. Drizzle over cooled cakes and sprinkle with extra coconut. Toasted coconut adds extra crunch and aroma.
Notes
-
Prevent Sinking Coconut: Toss shredded coconut in 1 tbsp flour before folding in.
-
Substitutions: Use a muffin tin if needed. Use solid coconut cream from canned coconut milk if coconut cream isn’t available.
-
Flavor Twists: Add crushed pineapple for a pina colada twist, or lemon zest for citrus brightness.
-
Storage: Store in airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze unglazed for up to 2 months.
