Toasted-Coconut Refrigerator Cake
Yield: Makes 6 to 8 servings
a.. 1/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut
b.. 1 cup heavy (or whipping) cream, whipped to a soft peak
c.. 2 pound cakes (such as Sara Lee), about 11 ounces each
d.. 2 cups Vanilla Pudding
1.. Preheat oven to 350° F. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and toast in
oven until golden, about 10 minutes, shaking the tray once about halfway
through the cooking time. Remove and let cool. In a medium bowl, gently fold
together the whipped cream and pudding. Slice each cake vertically in half,
then slice each half horizontally into three ½-inch layers. Line an
8-by-8-inchsquare pan with 4 slices of cake to make 1 layer. Top with about
1cup of the pudding mixture, spreading to cover the cake. Repeat the process to
form 3 layers, ending with the pudding mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Garnish
with the toasted coconut and serve.
Vanilla Pudding
Yield: Makes 4 servings (2 cups)
a.. 1/2 cup sugar $
b.. 3 tablespoons cornstarch
c.. 1/8 teaspoon salt
d.. 2 cups whole milk
e.. 2 egg yolks $
f.. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
g.. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Pour ¼ cup
of the milk into the sugar mixture, stirring to form a smooth paste. Whisk in
the remaining milk and the egg yolks. Cook the pudding mixture over low heat,
stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until thickened, about 15 minutes. Do
not allow it to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
Scrape the pudding into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the surface
to make an airtight seal and prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until
well chilled, about 1 hour.
