  • Three quarter cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • One quarter cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cups well shaken canned coconut milk, at room temperature*
  • Two large eggs, at room temperature, yolks and whites separated
  • One tsp coconut extract
  • One half tsp vanilla extract
  • Four large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
  • Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 12 oz. cream cheese, nearly at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • One tsp coconut extract
  • Five cups (596g) powdered sugar
  • One half cups shredded coconut

How to Make It

    For the cake:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Butter 3 9-inch round cake pans and line bottom of each with a round of parchment paper, butter parchment paper and set pans aside.
  3. Sift cake flour into a large mixing bowl, then add baking powder and salt and whisk mixture for 20 seconds.
  4. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, blend together granulated sugar, butter and canola oil on medium speed until well combined.
  5. Add in egg yolks one at a time and mix until combined after each addition (reserve 2 egg whites), then mix in coconut and vanilla extracts.
  6. Working in three separate batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, add 1/3 of the flour mixture, alternating with 1/2 of the coconut milk and mixing just until combined after each addition (if you don't have the paddle attachment that scrapes the sides of the bowl, stop mixer and scrape sides and bottom occasionally).
  7. In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip 6 egg whites with cream of tartar on medium-high speed until stiff (but not dry) peaks form.
  8. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold 1/3 of the egg whites into cake batter at a time and fold just combined after each addition (don't over-mix and deflate egg whites). Divide batter among prepared cake pans. Spread batter into an even layer and bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 19 - 22 minutes.
  9. Allow to cool in cake pan 5 - 10 minutes then run a knife along edges of cakes and invert each onto a wire rack to cool. Cool completely the cut tops to even as needed.
  10. Frost top of one layer, add another layer and frost then top with last layer and frost top and sides.
  11. Place cake stand over a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle cake evenly with shredded coconut (pressing gently on sides to adhere. I just did it over a rimmed baking sheet for easier clean up - not a must).
  12. Store in an airtight container.
  13. For the Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting:

  14. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip butter with cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Mix in coconut extract.
  15. Add powdered sugar and whip on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
  16. Chill as needed if frosting seems runny (slightly runny is fine, once you get it frosted the coconut will help it stay in place).

  • One tsp of tequila
  • One tsp of salt
  • One half tsp of freshly ground black pepper
  • One half tsp of dried oregano
  • One quarter tsp of ground cumin
  • Garlic shrimps/prawns:

  • Eight large shrimps/prawns (Two for each burger), peeled and deveined
  • Three sprigs of fresh thyme leaves
  • One clove of garlic, minced
  • One half tsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 tsp of salt
  • 1/8 tsp of freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika mayo:

  • Three tbsp of mayonnaise
  • One tbsp of tomato paste
  • One half tsp of paprika
  • One tsp of yellow mustard
  • Juice of One juicy lime
  • Four Sweet potato burger buns (recipe follows)
    One half heaping cup of shredded manchego cheese
    A few thin slices of tomatoes

How to Make It

    To prepare the chorizo patties:

  1. Mix all the ingredients together until evenly combined.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or you can certainly make this the day before and keep in the fridge.
  3. To prepare the garlic shrimp:

  4. After peeling, deveining and rinsing the shrimps/prawns, dry them really well on a clean towel.
  5. Mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 30 min to 1 hour.
  6. To prepare the paprika mayo:

  7. Mix all the ingredients together until even.
  8. Set aside.
  9. To make the burger:

  10. Divide the chorizo-mixture into 4 equal portions, then shape into patties.
  11. It’s very important to make sure the diameter of the patties is slightly larger than the diameter of the buns! Because the patties will shrink during cooking and there’s nothing more infuriating than an “I-shaped” burger.
  12. Now, next step is a little unconventional, but I like to dust a thin layer of flour on both sides of the patties so they pan-fry into nice crusts (you can take this as optional).
  13. Heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until really hot, then add a small nub of unsalted butter in there and the chorizo patties (maximum 2 patties at a time).
  14. Leave the patties to pan-fry without moving, until a nicely browned crust has formed on the bottom.
  15. Turn the patties over, then add the shredded manchego cheese on top (2~3 tbsp on each).
  16. Cover the skillet completely with a lid and keep cooking on medium-high heat for another 1~2 min (the steam will melt the cheese as well as cook the patties), just until the center of the patties is cooked through.
  17. Transfer the patties with whatever crispy cheese-bits on the side, onto a plate and let rest.

  18. Keep the chorizo drippings in the skillet and cook the shrimps/prawns on high-heat, about 1 min on each side until just cooked through.
  19. Then set aside.

  20. If you want to toast the buns, remove any food-solids inside the skillet with a bit of oil left, then toast the cut-sides of the buns until golden browned in the same skillet.

  21. Apply a good layer of paprika mayo on both sides of the buns, then put 2 thinly sliced tomatoes and a chorizo patty on top.
  22. Slice the shrimps/prawns lengthwise and place over the patty.
  23. Close it off with the top bun.
  24. I warn you, it’s going to be very messy and drippy… and happy.
