Tips

  • Use good quality chocolate for a decadent cake.
  • Use only the dry coconut cream pudding mix.
  • Opt for unsweetened coconut cream instead of cream of coconut.
  • Cover the cake loosely with foil while baking to prevent excessive browning.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
  • The frosting doesn't need to be perfect as coconut flakes will cover it.
  • To toast coconut, heat it on low on the stove.
  • Refrigerate the frosted cake for 30 minutes to harden the frosting before covering with plastic wrap.
