Coconut Macaroon Crumble Cake

A sweet and crumbly cake that combines the flavors of coconut macaroons with a crunchy oat topping.

The Coconut Macaroon Crumble Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut (for crumble topping)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened shredded coconut, salt, and baking powder.

Add in the softened butter and mix until the batter resembles coarse crumbs. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 2: Prepare the Crumble Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.

Add in the softened butter and mix until the crumble topping resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake the Cake

Pour half of the cake batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter, followed by the remaining cake batter. Spread it evenly to cover the top of the crumble.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve warm, topped with additional coconut flakes if desired.

Note: This recipe is a variation of the Coconut Macaroons (Recipe #66) and the Apple Baked Crumble (Recipe #1).
