When I was younger I didn't really care for coconut cake, but now I love it.


I only have it maybe once or twice a year though, because for me it's one of those special occasion cakes. When it comes to Red Velvet and Coconut cakes....those Southern women can throw down.

hot damn! i could just sop that up right quick

White chocolate mousse and strawberry layer cake

115 gr (4 oz) fine white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
120 ml (4 fl oz or 1/2 cup) double cream
120 ml (4 fl oz or 1/2 cup) milk
15 ml (1 tbsp) rum or vanilla essence
115 gr (4 oz or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
175 gr (6 oz or 3/4 cup) granulated sugar
3 eggs
225 gr (8 oz or 2 cups) plain flour
10 ml (2 tsp) baking powder
pinch of salt
675 gr (1 ½ lb) fresh strawberries, sliced, plus extra for decoration
750 ml (1 1/4 pints or 3 cups) whipping cream
30 ml (2 tbsp) rum or strawberry-flavoured liqueur

White chocolate mousse filling
250 gr (9 oz) white chocolate, chopped into small pieces
350 ml (12 fl oz or 1 1/2 cups) double cream
30 ml (2 tbsp) rum or strawberry-flavoured liqueur



Preheat oven to 180º C (350º F or Gas 4). Grease and flour two 23 x 5 cm/9 x 2 in cake tins. Line the base of the tins with non-stick baking paper. Melt the chocolate and cream in a double boiler over a low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the milk and rum or vanilla essence, and set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a hand-held electric mixer for 3-5 minutes, until light and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Alternately add flour and melted chocolate to the egg mixture in batches, until just blended. Pour the mixture into the tins and spread evenly.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn cakes out on to a wire rack, peel off the paper and cool completely.

Make the mousse filling. In a medium saucepan over a low heat, melt the chocolate and cream until smooth, stirring frequently. Stir in the rum or strawberry-flavoured liqueur and pour into a bowl. Chill until just set. With a wire whisk, whip lightly.
Assemble the cake. With a serrated knife, slice both cake layers in half, making four layers. Place one layer on the plate and spread one third of the mousse on top. Arrange one third of the sliced strawberries over the mousse. Place the second layer on top and spread with another third of the mousse. Arrange another third of the sliced strawberries over the mousse.

Place the third layer on top and spread with the remaining mousse. Cover with the remaining sliced strawberries. Top with the last cake layer. Whip the cream with the rum or liqueur until firm peaks form. Spread about half the whipped cream over the top and the sides of the cake. Spoon the remaining cream into a decorating bag fitted with a medium star tip and pipe scrolls on top of the cake. Decorate with the remaining sliced strawberries, pressing half of them into the cream on the side of the cake and arranging the rest on top.

that's a lot of cakes!

that burger cake looks awesome. I watched this birthday cake special on the Food Network a while back and you should've seen those cakes. It takes a huge amount of artistic talent to pull off the stuff they were doing, because in their case it was really a form of art rather than a cooking contest. Cakes like this...
this one is extremely nice, but it's nothin' compared to other cakes that were on that show. I wish I could find pics. from that special.
