I am looking for a good filling to make with a coconut cake. I am making Wasc cake substituting coconut milk, coconut and rum flavoring. Any suggestions for something to go with this combination? Thanks!
I have three thoughts for fillings inspired by other desserts:
orange cream with coconut - Ambrosia
Banana cream - Coconut BaBa Cake (old family tradition)
cream, pineapple, coconut, maybe cherry juice - Pina Colada
YUMMMMM!!!!!!!
I've done lemon curd with a coconut cake. Although I don't know how the rum changes that equation.
Last time our cake club met and we did a coconut cake we just did a plain vanilla buttercream filling -- to let the coconut flavor stand on its own. Delicous!!
I did a coconut cake that was absolutely delicious, but don't have the exact recipe handy. I can tell you that the filling was a basic custard made with Pina Colada mix (without alcohol) instead of milk or cream and shredded coconut. I think I also added some Malibu Rum for flavoring! Delicious!
Coconut Cake is my all time favorite cake. My mother has made it for my birthday as long as I can remember. We use plain old strawberry jam as a filling. It really is wonderful.
Here's my Coconut Cake recipe with filling suggestions and recipes. I particularly like lemon curd or raspberry filling (think Raspberry Zinger!). Lime curd is really good, too.

I've done a pineapple mousse w/coconut cake and it was yummy!
I'm with Kara on the pineaple. I've done it with a pineapple curd. Tastes very tropical.
I just use vanilla pudding. AWESOME !! Never have any complaints, only compliments on how moist it makes it.
I, too, was going to say ganache, then put almonds on top, voila! you have Almond Joy!
