I made this for my mother's birthday this year. It was a hit. I would love to try this with hazelnuts or macadamia nuts next!

How To Make coconut white chocolate cake wine-soaked berries

Step 1

To start cake, melt brown sugar, butter, and white chocolate in a double broiler. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, heavy cream, eggs, and the extracts. Beat well for 3 minutes.
Step 3

Then mix in chocolate. Beat well. Fold in coconut.
Step 4

In two greased pans, pour in batter. Bake at 325F until a toothpick comes out clean. Wait until cake is totally cooled before frosting.
Step 5

To start frosting, mix all frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl, save sugar. Beat well. Then add sugar little by little, while continuing to beat. Beat until both stiff and creamy. Overbeating will make grainy.
Step 6

To start fruit, pour all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook on low medium until sugar is totally melted and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir frequently.
Step 7

To put together cake, frost first layer, then top with second layer. Frost sides, but not where fruit will go. Make a lip around the top with the frosting.
Step 8

I made this for my mother's birthday this year, so I added sprinkles and chocolate chips, but that isn't necessary. I optionally would have coated the sides with either chopped macadamia nuts or hazelnuts if it weren't for a birthday cake.
Step 9

Finally, spoon on fruit. Enjoy!
