Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling and frosting to set before serving.
For an even richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the cake batter.
Toast the coconut lightly in a dry pan before adding it to the filling for enhanced flavor and texture.
If you prefer a less sweet frosting, you can make your own chocolate ganache using equal parts chocolate and heavy cream.
Garnish with additional toasted coconut flakes or chocolate shavings for a professional finish.

Jun 7, 2025The frosting was a little too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll try making my own ganache.
