So one of my coworkers made a request for a coconut cake. I have never made one before, so it was fun to try and experiment a little. I enjoy making cakes, and I am getting better at spreading frosting, which is nice. This particular cake is a coconut flavored cake, using coconut extract and flaked coconut. I frosted it with a very fluffy vanilla cream cheese frosting, and garnished with a little flaked coconut. I think next time I will try to make it a bit bigger, the layers came out a little small, so maybe I’ll double it and make a three layer cake. Here is the final product.
This is the one I gave to my friend. I am waiting for him to give me a critique, and then I’ll post the recipe. Let me know what you think.
