Coconut Cake

Like a breeze that caresses you atop a hill, the mellow flavour of coconut revitalises your palate when you bite into this unique Coconut Cake. The soothing touch of coconut is unmistakable as both coconut milk and desiccated coconut are used. This is a soft and succulent sponge cake with a deep-seated flavour and mild crunch, which makes it a wonderful accompaniment to tea.
While you may serve it a while after baking, it tastes especially great when slightly warm. You can also try other recipes like Coconut Toffee or Coconut Ball Cookies.
