Bounty Cake

I’m in love with this Bounty cake! This recipe makes a tender, soft and aromatic coconut treat. The coconut filling keeps its shape well, moderately sweet. If you love Bounty sweets, then I highly recommend making this delicious treat. Can be made in the form of a round cake.

Summary

Ingredients

For the basics:

• Butter (or margarine) – 80 g
• Eggs – 2 pcs.
• Wheat flour – 80 g
• Sugar – 80 g
• Cocoa powder – 2 teaspoons with a large slide
• Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
• Salt – a pinch

For filling:

• Milk – 400 ml
• Semolina – 2 tbsp (no slide)
• Coconut flakes – 200 g
• Butter 82% – 100 g
• Sugar – 80 g
• Vanilla sugar – 10 g

For glaze:

• Milk chocolate – 150 g
• Milk – 40-80 ml

Instructions

1. Beat butter, sugar and salt with a mixer, add eggs, beat for 3-4 minutes. Mix the sifted flour with cocoa and baking powder and sift into the dough, stir with a spatula until smooth. Put the dough into a parchment-lined mold and flatten. You need a rectangular shape 22 cm by 25 cm or a round shape with a diameter of 24 cm. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until tender.
2. For the coconut filling, heat the milk, add semolina in a thin stream, cook until the first boiling bubbles. You will get a fairly liquid semolina porridge. Don’t worry, it will thicken later. I must say right away that semolina is not felt at all in the finished cream. If you want, you can replace it with starch (1 tablespoon).

   

3. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, butter and coconut. Stir and place on the chocolate base.
4. The frosting can be made from milk chocolate, it tastes very similar to the Bounty candies, as there is also a coconut filling in milk chocolate. And you can make a more budget-friendly icing from sour cream, cocoa and sugar. I made a soft chocolate frosting. To do this, you need to warm up the milk and pour chocolate over it. The more milk you have, the softer the glaze will be. Cover the cake with icing.

   

5. Let it cool completely at room temperature, and then put it in the refrigerator for an hour and a half so that it is completely stabilized.

Enjoy your meal!
