IMO, this is THE only recipe for a white coconut cake that anybody will ever need. It is just scrumptious!

White Coconut Layer Cake

1 large egg, plus 5 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. coconut extract
3/4 cup cream of coconut
2-1/4 cup (9 ounces) cake flour, sifted
12 Tbsp. (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces, softened, but still cool
2 c. packed (about 8 oz.) sweetened shredded coconut

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with shortening and dust with flour. Beat egg whites and whole egg in large measuring cup with fork to combine. Add cream of coconut, water, vanilla, and coconut extract and beat with fork until thoroughly combined. 3. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in bowl of standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on lowest speed to combine, about 30 seconds. With mixer still running on lowest speed, add butter one piece at a time, then beat until mixture resembles coarse meal, with butter bits no larger than small peas, 2 to 2-1/2 minutes.

With mixer still running, add one cup liquid. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 45 seconds. With mixer still running, add remaining liquid in steady stream (this should take about 15 seconds). Stop mixer and scrape down bowl with rubber spatula, then beat at medium-high speed to combine, about 15 seconds. (Batter will be thick.) Divide batter between cake pans and level with offset or rubber spatula. Bake until deep golden brown, cakes pull away from sides of pans, and toothpick inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 30 minutes (rotate cakes after about 20 minutes). Do not turn off oven. Cool in pans on wire racks about 10 minutes, then loosen cakes from sides of pans with paring knife, invert cakes onto racks and then re-invert; cool to room temperature.

To toast the coconut: While cakes are cooling, spread shredded coconut on rimmed baking sheet; toast in oven until shreds are a mix of golden brown and white, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times. Cool to room temperature.

Buttercream:
4 large egg whites
1/4 cup cream of coconut
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. coconut extract
Pinch salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pound unsalted butter, each stick cut into 6 pieces, softened, but still cool

Combine egg whites, sugar, and salt in bowl of mixer; set bowl over pan containing 1-1/2 inches of barely simmering water. Whisk constantly until mixture is opaque and warm to the touch and registers about 120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 minutes. Transfer bowl to mixer and beat whites on high speed with whisk attachment until barely warm (about 80 degrees) and whites are glossy and sticky, about 7 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-high and beat in butter one piece at a time. Beat in cream of coconut and coconut and vanilla extracts. Stop mixer and scrape bottom and sides of bowl. Continue to beat at medium-high speed until well-combined, about two minutes.

Honey Bun Cake

1 (18.25 oz.) pkg yellow cake mix
3/4 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
8 oz. sour cream
1 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and sour cream. Stir by hand approximately 50 strokes, or until most large lumps are gone. Pour half of the batter into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter in the cake pan. Spoon the other half of the batter into the cake pan, covering the brown sugar and cinnamon. Swirl the cake with a knife until it looks like a honey bun.

Bake in the preheated over for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Spread frosting on the cake while it's still warm. Serve warm.

MILLIONAIRE MOUSSE CAKE

2/3 c. butter
1 c. heavy or whipping cream
Sugar
1 c. unsweetened cocoa
6 lg. eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
White Chocolate Glaze (below)

About 4 hours before serving or early in day:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease bottom only of a 9-inch springform pan.

2. In 2-quart saucepan over low heat, heat butter, cream, and 3/4 cup sugar until butter just melts. Remove from heat; stir in cocoa. Freeze mixture, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes.

3. In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat eggs, vanilla, and salt just until mixed. Add flour and 3/4 cup sugar. On high speed, beat until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir about 1/4 of egg mixture into cooled chocolate mixture then fold all of chocolate mixture into remaining egg mixture. Pour batter into pan. Bake 55 to 60 minutes until cake is firm in center. (Cake will be very moist when done; standard tests for doneness cannot be used.) Run thin-bladed knife around edge of cake to loosen from side of pan. Cool cake completely in pan on wire rack (cake will fall and leave a deep indentation). Remove side of pan.

4. Prepare White Chocolate Glaze; spread over cake. Refrigerate until glaze is firm.


WHITE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:

In 1-quart saucepan over very low heat, melt 12 ounces white chocolate (or four 3-ounce Swiss confectionery bars or two 6-ounce white baking bars), 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1/4 cup shortening.

Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Brownies


2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 c. sugar
2 1/2 t. vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 (20 oz.) pkgs. prepared chocolate chip cookie dough

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Press one pkg. of cookie dough onto the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour the filling over the dough.

Slice the other dough pkg. into 1/4 inch rounds. Flatten the slices between your hands (spraying hands with pam makes this easy). Place on top of the filling, covering as much as you can (you don't have to cover the entire surface).

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

This recipe is from Simply Delicious Desserts with Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (1989). My mother-in-law gave me this book (I think she got it with Eagle Brand labels) years and years ago and I've used so many of the recipes....they're all good.
 

Rick said this is worth posting here. He loves it.

Tropical Cheesecake

1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup toasted, finely chopped nuts
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
14 oz. can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 eggs
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
20 oz. can juice-pack crushed pineapple, well drained (reserve 1/2 cup juice)
8 oz. sour cream, room temperature
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1-1/2 tsp. cornstarch

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine crumbs, coconut, nuts, brown sugar and margarine. Press mixture firmly on bottom and halfway up side of 9-inch springform pan.

In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add eggs and juice concentrate and mix well. Stir in 3/4 cup crushed pineapple. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 5 minutes or until center is set. Spread the top with sour cream. Bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on wire rack.

While cheesecake is cooling, in small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and cornstarch. Mix well. Gradually add the reserved 1/2 cup pineapple juice, then the remaining crushed pineapple. Over low heat, cook and stir until thickened. Cool. Spread the cooled pineapple mixture over the cheesecake. Chill. Garnish as desired. Keep leftovers in refrigerator. Makes one 9-inch cheesecake.

What I do: Rick refuses to eat coconut, so I use 1-1/2 cups cracker crumbs and 3/4 cup toasted nuts (I used pecans). I have to bake my cheesecake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to get the center set.

You can decorate the center of the cheesecake with sliced kiwi and a maraschino cherry (as per the picture in the cookbook).

Beat the cream cheese at high speed in a mixer bowl til creamy and smooth.Add the pumpkin and beat,then the eggs and sour cream.sugar.spices,flour and vanilla.The order really doesn't matter as long as it all gets in there and is beaten creamy and smooth.

I use a large springform pan,but I don't care for very much crust.Instead,I crushed some gingersnaps in a food processor til they were fine crumbs,and greased the springform pan really well,bottom and sides and seams,and then dusted uit very well with the gingersnap crumbs.Pour in the batter and wrap the pan in heavy duty foil...bottom and sides.Place in a large roasting pan,and into a 350 oven,but pour hot water in the roaster til it comes up to the middle of the springform pan.Bake for 1 hour and don't peek!Test for doneness by using a cake tester or slender knife about an in or so in from the edge...if it comes out clean,it's done.Remove the whole thing from the oven and carefully remove pan from water,remove the foil and let it set til partially cooled.Remove the sides of the springform pan,place on a platter and cover with saran wrap...chill thouroughly.This is lovely served with a rum flavored whipped cream,or just by itself.

You could also use sweet potatoes,baked and put through a food mill.

This was in our local newspaper yesterday. I just took it out of the oven a few minutes ago. It looks wonderful!

Classic Sour Cream Coffee Cake

Servings: 12

For the batter:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1-1/2 cups granulated sugar

1-1/4 cups sour cream (not light or non-fat)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups sifted flour (sift before measuring)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

For the cinnamon-sugar filling:

1 cup pecans, chopped

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt

Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup (large) Bundt pan with a bit of vegetable oil or cooking spray (do not use baking spray).

To make the batter, in a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until light and fluffy. Add the sour cream, eggs and vanilla, then mix again until well incorporated.

Measure and sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to butter-sugar mixture a little at a time, mixing between additions and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until well mixed. Set aside.

To make the filling, in a large bowl combine the pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix well. Spoon a shallow layer of the filling mixture over the bottom of the Bundt pan. Spoon half the batter into the pan over the filling. Sprinkle all but 1/4 cup of the remaining filling evenly over the batter.

Pour the rest of the batter over the filling, smoothing it with a silicone spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining filling.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from sides and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Start testing for doneness after the cake has baked for 40 minutes since ovens and pans vary in the way they bake. Remove from oven and transfer cake pan to a cooling rack. Let cool before slicing.
