Baking Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a measuring cup, combine hot coffee with the milk. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment, add butter and sugar. Beat for 5 minutes.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time. Slowly add the dry ingredients, alternating with the coffee mixture.
  • Pour cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 33-38 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.
  • For the frosting, beat together the Marshmallow Fluff with softened butter for 3-4 minutes until combined.
  • Add in vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  • In a bowl, combine coconut with pink food coloring, mixing until color saturates the coconut.
  • Spread frosting over cooled cake and sprinkle with the colored coconut. Slice and serve.

Notes

Ensure the cake is completely cooled before spreading the frosting for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
