Vegan coconut cake with coconut milk

This coconut cake doesn’t use butter, margarine or vegetable oil. Instead, it’s baked with creamy coconut milk. This makes it incredibly moist, but at the same time fluffy and soft. Not only for a moist consistency, but for an irresistible aroma coconut milk provides in the cake – and of course for the taste of coconut.

So especially coconut lovers simply must have tried this sponge cake. I am also sure that it can convince just as not only coconut fans.

Moist sponge cake

A generous helping of coconut milk goes into the batter for this vegan cake. Still not enough of the coconut? No problem! Coconut flakes are added to the batter as well. And as if it were still not enough coconut flavor, the sponge cake is sprinkled with coconut flakes after baking. I guess you can’t get more coconut flavor than that!

Vegan coconut cake in loaf pan

This moist coconut cake with coconut milk I had baked in a 25 cm x 10 cm loaf pan. Alternatively, you can also bake it in another form. For example, a round springform pan is well suited for it. You can also use a bundt pan for it.

Note that depending on the size of your baking pan, the baking time specified in the recipe may vary greatly. It is important not to overbake the coconut sponge cake, otherwise it will not taste moist in the end, but rather dry.

Eye candy in white

How to store the sponge cake with coconut milk

In the next few days, the vegan coconut cake will still taste just as moist and fluffy as it does right after baking.

Moist coconut cake vegan: with these tips and tricks it will turn out perfectly

• You can adjust the amount of sugar for the cake to taste, depending on how sweet you like it.
• For example, vanilla sugar, vanilla powder, vanilla extract or vanilla bean scraped out go as vanilla.
• Do not stir the dough too long, but only briefly, until it has a homogeneous consistency.
• Instead of baking in a loaf pan, you can bake the cake in another baking pan. See my notes here above.
• Be sure to grease the baking pan thoroughly and then dust it with flour (tapping off any excess flour) so that you can remove the cake from the pan after baking.
• Depending on the size of your baking pan, the baking time listed in the recipe may vary.
• To check if the vegan cake is done baking, do a chopstick test. To do this, briefly insert a long toothpick into the center of the cake and see if it stays almost clean after coming out. If the toothpick stays smeared in raw batter, you still need to bake the cake. If only a few moist crumbs remain on the toothpick, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out dry, you may have baked the cake too long, and it may not end up tasting as moist as it should.
