Instructions
Preheat the oven to 320F and spray a 12-cup bundt pan well with coconut oil spray.
Combine the2¼ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
In a second bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk the ½ cup salted butter and ¼ cup coconut oil until combined. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and whisk for 20 seconds. Use a spatula to scrape the sides.
Add the 3 large eggs, one by one, and whisk after each to incorporate. Add in the 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons coconut extract, and 14 ounces full-fat coconut milk. Mix with the mixer just until combined.
Next, we'll incorporate the dry ingredients by hand. Add the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until there are no visible flour streaks. The mixture will be lumpy, and that's fine.
Add the 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and ½ cup white chocolate chunks and fold in to incorporate.
Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt cake pan and level the tops.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl (8 ounces block of full-fat cream cheese, ¼ cup coconut yogurt, ¼ cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon coconut extractWhisk with the electric mixer to combine. Stop and scrape the sides and bottom with a spatula. Mix again until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly:
Once the cake is cool and ready to assemble, spread out the frosting on the outside. Sprinkle and gently press with 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut to make sure it evenly adheres all over the tops of your cake.
Notes
Make sure your butter, coconut oil, and eggs are at room temperature before starting.
If the frosting is too thick, add coconut milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use vegetable oil, but it will slightly alter the flavor.
Full-fat coconut milk is key for moisture; almond milk can be substituted but won’t provide the same richness.
Add fresh fruit like mango or raspberries if you'd like.
