Tips

  • Cream of coconut is a secret ingredient that adds coconut flavor, moisture, and sweetness all at the same time.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap for at least 15 minutes to hydrate the batter.
  • After removing from the oven, let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes, then remove from the pan, and allow the cake to cool completely before adding frosting.
  • Pack on the coconut flakes by pressing them onto the frosting.
