Vegan Coconut Cake

I love this Vegan Coconut Cake because it is full of tropical flavors, which to me taste of summer at the seashore. Coconut lovers, we’ve got you covered! Because this recipe is a keeper. It is egg-free, dairy-free, and uses only vegan ingredients. Two soft, perfectly moist, sweet, extra delicious, coconut flavored cake layers. Each covered with the most delicious sweet coconut icing. Decorate with toasted shredded coconut, and you will have an awesome coconut cake that is both delicious and beautiful.

This coconut cake recipe is super easy to make too! Start by whisking the dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Then fold the wet ingredients into dry before adding in the coconut oil. Pour the batter into prepared baking pans and bake. Let cool, and then frost. An easy, delicious cake to enjoy any time of the year!

To make Vegan Coconut Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Vegan Coconut Cake

1	Heat oven and prepare baking pans	5
Preheat your oven to 350 ºF. Lightly grease with coconut oil or line with parchment paper two 8-inch baking pans.
2	Combine dry ingredients	2
In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups cane sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
3	Melt coconut oil	5
Melt ¼ cup coconut oil and set aside to cool.
4	Combine wet ingredients	2
In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, combine 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk, 1 cup applesauce, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
5	Combine wet and dry ingredients	2
Fold the wet ingredients into dry, stirring with the electric mixer, before adding in the cooled coconut oil and stirring to combine.
6	Bake	35
Divide the cake mixture evenly between the prepared baking pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden on top and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
7	Cool	10
Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before removing and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
8	Toast coconut	5
Place 1 cup shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes or until golden in color. Remove and set aside to cool.
9	Make icing	2
Melt 1 cup coconut oil and pour into a large bowl. Using the electric mixer, stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 ½ cups powdered sugar and mix until thick and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed.
10	Assemble and decorate	5
Use a serrated knife to remove the dome of each cake. Cover the top of one cake with the prepared icing and place the second cake on top. Frost the top and sides. Decorate with toasted coconut.
11	Serve
Slice and enjoy!
