    Jam Coconut Cake Recipe

    Coconut Jam Cake is a delicious cake which has a vanilla sponge cake which is soaked in jammy coconut sauce or syrup. The cake is so moist and a syrupy texture which make the cake taste very juicy.

    I have made another version of bakery style honey cake in this blog. This one has a addition of jam added in it.

    This cake is actually very easy to make. It needs just basic ingredients but the taste is absolutely delicious. The cake has a coconut topping which adds so much aroma to the cake. Also the jammy layer adds a tangy layer to it.

    About Coconut Cake

    Coconut cake is a popular treat in the United States; Southern area. Its a white-frosted cake with coconut flakes on top. Coconut cake is typically made using either white or yellow cakes. While some recipes do not call for coconut flavour in the cake itself, others utilise coconut milk and/or coconut extract instead of milk. The first coconut cakes were prepared in America by enslaved people in the south who brought their knowledge of how to break down a coconut with them from Africa.

    This traditional school meal dessert is one of those dependable and simple cake recipes that evoke pure nostalgia.

    This cake stays good for over a week in fridge.

    What is Jam Coconut Cake?

    Ingredients for Jam Coconut Cake

    Soft Unsalted Butter 

    The high fat content of butter keeps the sponge moist and tender whilst also providing a delicious buttery flavour that you won’t get with margarine or oils.

    Baking Powder

    Baking powder is a leavening agent that is necessary for the cake to rise correctly. Too much baking powder will not only make the cake taste bad, but it will also cause it to rise uncontrollably.

    How to Make Jam Coconut Cake

    1. Make a vanilla sponge cake batter.
    2. Bake it in a square pan.
    3. Make a jammy syrup using fruit jam, sugar and water.
    4. Add in some desiccated coconut.
    5. Pour this over the cake.
    6. Refrigerate the cake for few hours.
    7. Slice and serve.

    Pro Tips

    You can substitute the vanilla extract in the recipe for the same amount of coconut extract if you wish.

    Storage

    Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days. This cake freezes well for up to 3 months it should be thoroughly defrosted before eating
