Indulge in the sweetness and richness of this moist cake, which has been lovingly soaked in a delightful blend of condensed coconut milk and coconut cream before being generously topped with a luscious coconut buttercream. Each bite is enhanced by the sprinkling of lightly toasted coconut flakes, providing a satisfying crunch to complement the cake's creamy texture.

Baking Tips:

  • Removing cake from pan: You can also opt for an 8-inch springform pan, as it will significantly simplify the cake removal process. Yet, in case you decide to go with a round cake pan, exercise caution during the cake extraction. I found it necessary to carefully slide a knife around the edges due to the slight stickiness caused by the coconut cream mixture. After running the knife through, invert the pan while safeguarding the cake's top with your hand, then gently sway the cake back and forth until it loosens and can be lifted out smoothly.

  • Coconut Cream/Condensed Coconut Milk Mixture: Given that you are utilizing only 3/4 of the mixture for the cake itself, you have the option to allocate 2 tablespoons of said mixture towards preparing the delectable coconut buttercream frosting. This addition will not just intensify the coconut essence but also contribute to a marginally softer texture.

  • Toasted coconut flakes: This part is completely optional if you don’t want to add the coconut flakes, you can simply just skip this step.
