Plush Coconut Cake

I made this for Brian's birthday because he likes coconut and we celebrated his birthday during band practice this year. Happy birthday, friend :D

Notes:

  • I decorated my cake with toasted coconut, crushed pistachios, and candied violets.

Verdict: I loved the texture (definitely plush, maybe a tiny bit oily but in a good way) and that it was not especially sweet. The crushed nuts added a nice little bit of saltiness to offset the sweet icing. It was also really easy to make. I would definitely make it again, especially if I had a can of coconut milk on hand and wanted a cake on short notice.
