Tips

  • For extra coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before adding on top.
  • Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for a few hours for a richer, moist texture.
  • You can add a layer of whipped cream for a more festive look.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
