Ingredients
For the Chocolate Coconut Quick Bread
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 egg (large)
- 13.6 ounces unsweetened coconut milk (1 can)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Swirl and Topping
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted & roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
For the Caramel:
- Heat the cream, butter, vanilla, and salt gently, in a small pot, until the butter is melted and the salt is dissolved.
- Heat the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium saucepan, swirling occasionally, until bubbling and amber-colored.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream mixture until well combined. (Mixture will boil up vigorously. Continue to whisk until bubbling subsides and caramel is smooth.)
- Transfer to a heat-safe container and cool completely.
For the Chocolate Coconut Quick Bread:
- Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a large bowl.
- Stir in the remaining (wet) ingredients.
- Place half the mixture in the bottom of a greased 10-inch diameter bundt pan.
- Top with about a third of the caramel, and half the pecans and coconuts.
- Add the remaining batter and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely.
Assemble the German Chocolate Bundt Cake:
- Turn the bundt out onto a serving plate, drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce, and top with the remaining pecans and coconut.
