Recipes for Bobby Flay's Throwdown Toasted Coconut Cake with Coconut Filling and Coconut Buttercream with grocery lists and nutritional information | Page 50
This Under-the-Sea Cake recipe contains jelly beans, nilla wafers, teddy grahams honey graham snacks, cool whip whipped topping, jell-o berry blue flavor gelatin and more.
The inspiration from this cake came from Tartine's pumpkin tea cake. I wanted to make a lighter, cake-ier cake, closer to a dessert you'd eat at a dinner party than to a quickbread you'd eat for breakfast. The frosting recipe is based on my idol Dorie Greenspan's Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting.
You won't believe how good this frosting is. It is light and fluffy and sweet and delicious! Perfect atop this moist chocolate cake. This recipe is more like a Mounds bar since there isn't any almonds, just chocolate and coconut, but who's complaining!
The oohs and ahhs will be for you instead of the waiter when you serve this restaurant fave with layers of moist cake, caramel filling and chocolate-dipped wafers.
Inevitably, everyone wants a piece of cake with a flower on it. Our ingenious cake skirts the problem. Plus, you'll love the buzz you hear when you serve this adorable treat.
