Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 8 ounces (227 g) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups (397 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (113 ml) Thai Kitchen (or similar) unsweetened coconut milk, well combined
- 1/4 cup (57 ml) unrefined coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together until well combined. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl with a handheld mixer, beat butter and cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add sugar, then beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in vanilla extract and coconut extract.
- Reduce speed to medium-low, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in coconut milk and coconut oil.
- Reduce speed to low and mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Generously grease a 10-inch (12-cup) bundt pan with non-stick baking spray. Scrape batter into the pan.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto the rack and cool completely, about 2.5 hours.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and unsalted butter for the best texture.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Generously grease the bundt pan to prevent sticking.
