A delightful Almond Coconut Strawberry Cake that combines vibrant strawberry flavors with tropical coconut for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (160 grams)
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened and cubed
  • ½ cup Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original Almondmilk Coconutmilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup coconut flakes
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 lb strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your cake pans: Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick spray or butter and lightly dust with flour.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the Almond Breeze milk, Greek yogurt, and coconut flakes until well blended.
  7. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
  8. Divide and bake: Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Cool down: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
  10. Whip the heavy cream: Beat heavy cream and sugar together until soft peaks form.
  11. Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving platter, spread whipped cream and add a layer of strawberries.
  12. Top with the second layer and frost the entire cake with remaining whipped cream.
  13. Decorate with additional strawberries and coconut flakes.
