three hole kahlua coconut cake by nor
This is an easy cake to make. My sister gave me an old recipe. She had gotten it from a friendI years sgo. My sister raved about this cake. Well, you know me. I always have to change recipes. I just had to put my own spin on this cake. I turned it into a Kahlúa cake. I added coffee and Kahlúa to this cake. It added a whole different level of flavor. I also came up with a Kahlúa coconut frosting,to top it off. I hope you all enjoy this version. My family sure does.

Step 9Pour into baking pan. Smack bottom of pan on counter to get rid of bubbles.

Step 10Bake at 350 degree's for 15 to 30 minutes. Or until pick inserted comes out clean. Note: I used the convection oven. It only took 15 minutes to bake this cake in a convection oven with a foil pan. Conventional oven may take 20 to 25 minutes to bake. Remove from oven and cool completely on wire rack
-
Step 11Frosting: Place coconut on a sheet pan in 350° oven. Keep an eye on the coconut and toast until lightly golden brown. Remove from oven. Set aside.
-
Step 12Beat cream cheese and butter together. Add in the Kahlúa and beat well. Add in powdered sugar a little bit at a time. Beat until well combined and smooth.
-
Step 13Frost top of cake. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the frosting. Refrigerate for a few hours before cutting. The frosting needs to set. Keep refrigerated!
-
Step 14Note: this cake is best frosted and served from the pan. It’s a very moist cake and is a little bit difficult to remove from pan. unless, you use a spatula . The original cake is the same way. It’s just the way the cake is.
