If you are a fan of coconut, then, this recipe is to keep. Pretty simple, not fussy, and comes together easily with only a few simple ingredients.
This moist, delicious, and lovely coconut cake is a very popular dessert paired with tea. You can use vanilla or grated orange or lemon zest for this recipe depending on your preference. This very cake was my grandmother’s favourite. I cannot count how many times she made this. This was her favourite afternoon snack alongside a cup of hot tea.
