📝 Instructions

14 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a standard bundt pan.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

5. On low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the coconut milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

6. Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

7. In a separate bowl, prepare the coconut filling by creaming together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and coconut extract until smooth.

8. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.

9. Spoon the coconut filling in a ring around the center of the batter, avoiding the edges of the pan.

10. Top with the remaining cake batter and smooth the surface.

11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

12. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

13. Sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over the glaze as a garnish.

14. Slice and serve your Coconut Surprise Bundt Cake. Enjoy!
