How to Make Lemon Zest & Coconut Bliss Bundt Cake

1. Oven Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a light touch, grease an 8- or 10-inch Bundt pan and set aside.

2. Wet Ingredients Mixture

In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, canola oil, coconut milk, rice or soy milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

3. Dry Ingredients Sifting

Sifting is key—gradually sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.

4. Incorporating Coconut

Embrace the coconut—gently fold the shredded unsweetened coconut into the batter, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

5. Baking the Cake

Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a cake tester or knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.

6. Cooling

After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, cover the pan with a cutting board, confidently flip it over, and lift the pan to reveal your beautifully shaped Bundt cake. Let it cool completely on the board.

7. Final Touch

Once cool, use a fine-mesh sieve to dust the top with a graceful sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar.

8. Serve and Savor

Cut into slices and serve up the delight. Enjoy the burst of lemon-coconut flavor in each bite!

Pitfalls and tips

Proper Pan Preparation

Use baking spray that includes flour or a paste of butter and flour, paying close attention to the pan's details for a perfect release.

Flavor Infusion

Toast shredded coconut before adding to the batter to deepen the flavor and add texture.

Room Temperature Ingredients

Ensure butter, eggs, and coconut milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better emulsification.

Don't Overmix

Mix just until combined after adding flour to prevent a dense cake.

Creaming Technique

Cream butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes to incorporate air, resulting in a lighter cake.
