To me, layer cakes are for celebrations and this Coconut Cake is a real crowd pleaser. I love everything about it. From its’ snowy white marshmallowy frosting that is enveloped in shreds of dried coconut, to the layers of moist and sweet butter cake sandwiched together with a tangy lemon curd.
What is nice about this Coconut Cake is that you don’t have to make everything on the day the cake is needed. For example, you can make the lemon curd several days (or up to a week) in advance. In fact, it is best if it’s made at least a day ahead of time so the flavors have time to soften and mingle. Also, the cake layers can be made the day before, or you can even make and freeze the cake up to two weeks ahead of time. Now, while the coconut flavor in this dessert comes from the dried coconut sprinkled on the cake, you can add more coconut flavor by brushing the baked cake layers with some coconut milk. You can use either sweetened or unsweetened dried coconut and it can be either shredded or flaked.
