Description
Indulge in this rich and decadent Chocolate Coconut Brownie Cake, topped with a sweet coconut layer and drizzled with chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (for topping)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for topping)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and 1 cup shredded coconut.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla. Spread this mixture evenly over the brownie batter.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- For the drizzle, gently heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cake.
- Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, avoid overbaking. The center should still have a slight softness when you take the cake out of the oven.
