This classic coconut cake is a family favorite with it’s fresh coconut and moist texture. It’s the perfect dessert for Easter Sunday or any spring gathering!<\/em><\/h4>\n

What is it about fresh coconut that makes me think of Easter and cute little bunnies? Anytime I have my grandma’s coconut cake I instantly jump to Easter Sundays. Although my grandma has been gone for many years now, her recipes lives on. She was a wonderful cook and baker. Her cakes have always been some of my favorite recipes of hers, one being her classic coconut cake. I’m not typically a big fan of coconut cakes or cakes in general, but this one is an exception. Maybe it’s the freshly grated coconut or the moist sponge of this cake that make it so delicious, either way it’s worth the extra effort that is required in making it. It’s snow white appearance and light flavor make it a perfect dessert for any spring gathering!<\/p>\n

As I said before, it does take a little extra effort. This cake uses on freshly grated coconut. I know it’s a pain but friends it’s worth it! I typically crack and grate the coconut the night before and store it in the fridge to break up the work.<\/p>\n

This cake would also look quite beautiful as a “naked” cake. Personally I love the sweetness of the icing and coconut along the outside. It’s delish no matter what method you choose.<\/p>\n
