Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray and dust lightly with flour, tapping out any excess.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, sifted cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
-
In a separate medium bowl, combine the cold water, softened margarine, sour cream, and 3 egg whites. Whisk until smooth and emulsified.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or spoon just until the flour is moistened and no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.
-
Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
-
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 egg white, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup grated coconut, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until the coconut is coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
-
Drop the coconut mixture by teaspoonfuls over the top of the chocolate batter, distributing them evenly to create macaroon clusters.
-
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
