Ingredients
Makes about 12 servings
Almond Sponge Cake
6 large eggs, room temperature
Pinch of salt
1 cup (200g) sugar
1 cup (100g) ground almonds
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5g) almond extract
White Chocolate Coconut Frosting
7 oz (200g) white chocolate
3 tbsp (45g) canned coconut milk
9 oz (250g) Mascarpone cheese, room temperature
2 cups (500g) whipping cream, 35%fat, chilled
1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp (5g) coconut extract
Assembling and decorating
1 cup (240g) canned coconut milk
unsweetened shredded coconut
Chopped almonds, optional
Raffaello truffles, optional
White chocolate curls, optional
1. Preheat oven to 340F (170C). Grease and line bottom and sides of a 9 inch (23cm) pan with parchment paper.
2. Separate egg whites from yolks. Add a pinch of salt over the whites and start mixing until foamy. Gradually add sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
3. In a small bowl mix egg yolks with almond extract and fold them into the whipped whites.
4. Gradually add ground almonds and flour and carefully incorporate into the batter.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until lightly golden.
7. Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
8. Meanwhile prepare the frosting. Place chocolate and coconut milk in a heatproof bowl and let it melt over a pan with simmering water.
9. In a large bowl mix Mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add melted chocolate and mix until combined.
10. In another large bowl whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Incorporate powdered sugar and coconut extract.
11. Gradually incorporate whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture. Fold in the shredded coconut. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
12. Assemble the cake. Divide the sponge cake in 3 layers. Place one cake layer on your serving plate.
13. Spread ⅓ cup coconut milk over the cake layer. Spread evenly with a bit less than a third of frosting. Repeat with the second layer of cake. Add the third layer of cake and spread with the last ⅓ cup of coconut milk. Spread the remaining frosting on top and sides of the cake.
14. Sprinkle shredded coconut on the top and sides of the cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.
15. Decorate as desired, I’ve used Raffaello truffles, white chocolate curls and chopped almonds.

I made it!!!!. I can't thank you enough, it was a complete success. After 2 days they are still texting me saying how nice it was and how good I am at making cakes. :) :) I didn't take the merit, I told everyone to look at your channel, the only thing I changed from your recepie was the kind and amount of sugar in the sponge cake. I used half of the sugar in the egg whites and added 100g of raw coconut sugar to the mix when adding the ground almonds. It turned out fantastic. I didn't have coconut extract so I used 50g of pure coconut milk when whipping the cream (so I used 450g of whipping cream) to give it a coconut flavour. Turned out very delicate in flavor. It was amazing. Thank you soo much. Oh and by the way if anyone was wondering, I baked it with a static oven. Greetings from Italy

Dear @Home Cooking Adventure, I've just made this cake for family and friends and EVERYONE loved it. There is a family friend, a man who doesn't like creamy desserts (he has difficult taste in food), even he complimented me. Thank you very much for your recipe. God bless you. Love from Armenia.

Making this one again. It’s absolutely fabulous and unlike other vids, when your cake comes out of the oven it actually looks exactly like the one on this video. Following the step-by-step guide means it looks exactly the same as the one on video. Check out the carrot & salted caramel cake recipe too - also fabulous! A firm family favourite which I’ve made on many occasions. Well worth the effort. Thank you so much. Xx

I just changed the decoration and added slightly less shredded coconut, sugar and coconut. (I had also made carrot cake with mulricolor rosette decorations.) Everyone loved them, saying they are both beautiful and great.
