Description

A nostalgic dessert that marries a moist chocolate cake with a sweet, chewy coconut macaroon center, offering a delightful contrast in textures.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 1¾ cups white sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  • In another bowl, combine shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk.

  • Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the coconut mixture over the batter. Top with the remaining chocolate batter.

  • Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

 

  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.

For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the chocolate batter.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.
