RAVE REVIEW COCONUT CAKE
This is a good recipe for those folks who are in a hurry and don't want to take the time to sift dry ingredients. It was given to me by a friend who took it to a church dinner and received many requests for the recipe. I use apricot jam between layers as a filling for a different taste.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh coconut milk and shredded coconut will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: A moderate oven temperature will help the cake to bake evenly without browning too quickly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a cream cheese frosting: A cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for coconut cake. It's rich, creamy, and slightly tangy.
Conclusion:
Coconut cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to holidays. With its moist crumb, sweet coconut flavor, and creamy frosting, coconut cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
