Esta Bolo de Coco Fácil is a moist, light, and fluffy recipe made from just 5 ingredients. You will love that this coconut cake is egg-free, and dairy-free so everyone can have a piece.
I love cakes. I mean, I love baking in general, but cakes in particular, like my Yogurt Berry Cake, Bolo Bundt Vegano, ou Bolo de natal vegano. Cakes bring people together, bring families around the table, celebrate occasions like birthdays, Thanksgiving, or Christmas.
Cakes are not just recipes for me. They are glue for people you love. And making them has a deeper dimension than making any other recipe. This coconut cake is very special to me, because I loooove coconut. But, trust me on this, even if you don’t like coconut, you will still love it! Damien, who’s not big on coconut munched it, so I’m sure you too will!

Instruções
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 9-inch round or square pan with parchment paper. Slightly oil with cooking oil. Set aside.

Ingredientes e Substituições
- Farinha Auto-Crescente – Use a good quality self-rising flour. If unavailable, you can make your own by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my conversor sem glúten, Mas não se esqueça do fermento em pó.
- Côco seco – Choose unsweetened desiccated coconut. Shredded coconut can be used for a different texture.
- Sugar – Use white granulated sugar for a classic taste. Coconut sugar can be substituted for a more caramel-like flavor.
- Leite de coco em lata – I used full-fat canned coconut milk for best results. Light coconut milk can be used, but will result in a less rich cake.
- Óleo de coco derretido – cooled at room temperature, or any light flavor oil you love. For oil-free, use more canned coconut milk.
- de extrato de baunilha: Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. Coconut extract can be used to enhance the coconut flavor further.
How to Make Easy Coconut Cake
Get my recipe card below for all the details! I’ve included here pictures of the key steps.
Pour the unsweetened shredded coconut and self-rising flour into a large mixing bowl.
Add the canned coconut milk, oil, sugar and the optional vanilla extract.
Stir the batter with a silicone spatula until just combined.
Pour it in a square cake pan and bake it for 30-35 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
Make my Cobertura de creme de coco and spread it on top of the cake.
Add some toasted coconut flakes to decorate the cake and slice it into slices as big as you think you can eat!!
Dicas de confeitaria da Carine
- Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening to ensure the fat and liquid are well combined.
- Não misture demais a massa. Stir it just until the ingredients are incorporated to avoid a tough cake.
- For extra coconut flavor, toast a portion of the desiccated coconut before adding it to the batter.
- If the top of the cake browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a fancier look, press toasted coconut flakes onto the sides of the frosted cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- To make cupcakes, divide the batter among 12 muffin cups and bake it for about 20-25 minutes.
Made these into 12 muffins! Beautiful! Fluffy, moist, not too sweet. Scrumptious!
So lovely, thanks for sharing your idea.
Obrigada por compartilhar esta receita!
O prazer é meu!
Delicious! My favorite to make so far.
Muito obrigado!
Olá,
I am making this for a friend, how can I store it overnight? should it be kept in the fridge or room temperature?
obrigado
If frosted, yes, it must be refrigerated overnight in an airtight cake box.
Thank you, Carine! I baked it, and it turned out the softest, most tender cake ever. I topped it with Biscoff spread and coconut shavings, since I ran out of granulated sugar, I used half dark brown sugar, it added a beautiful, rich caramel flavour that perfectly complemented the coconut. Absolutely delicious!
Oh yum, biscoff and coconut must be good!
This sounds delicious! Could I reduce the sugar to a half a cup? or at least 3/4 of a cup?
I also will be using sweetened coconut so that will add sweetness to the cake.
Obrigado!
Absolutely! You can always cut down sugar, the cake won’t get the same texture. The less sugar you add the tougher, bread-like texture you will get. Plus, the cake will dry faster too as sugar trap moisture. The cake won’t last as long. I usually don’t go under 2/3 cup for this cake size, 3/4 cup is barely noticeable. But 1/2 cup will be low, you will be notice the difference and may not like the texture you get.
Fabuloso!
muito obrigado

This worked exactly as written, thanks! I didn’t do the buttercream topping, just a mango compote, dollop of coconut yoghurt and a sprinkle of toasted coconut to finish
It sounds delicious with mango and coconut yogurt! Thanks for sharing with me.
Really amazing delicious simple wow
Obrigado !
Hi! I am drooling just thinking about enjoying a slice of this. Rather than coconut oil , would melted Vegan butter work? I don’t use coconut oil very much.
Absolutely, but oils make the cake fluffier, I would rather use other low flavor oils like mild flavor olive oil or canola oil.
Literally one of the best things I ever ate! I subbed vanilla for organic pure coconut extract, amazing!
That’s so amazing to hear! thank you.
