Pro Tips for the Perfect Coconut Cake:
Use Unsweetened Coconut: Opt for unsweetened coconut flakes instead of sweetened ones. This keeps the cake from being overly sugary and lets the natural coconut flavor shine.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and cream cheese are at room temperature for smoother batter and frosting.
Don’t Overmix the Batter: Once you add the flour, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.
Chill the Frosting: If you find your frosting too soft to spread, chill it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm it up before frosting your cake.
Add a Zesty Twist: Try adding lemon zest or a bit of lime juice to the batter or frosting for a fresh citrusy contrast that complements the coconut.
