Coconut Honey Cake, How to make Coconut Honey Cake Recipe

September 26, 2015 by maria 6 Comments

Coconut mild gives a nice flavor to any dish. This time I thought of combining Coconut with Honey and made Coconut Honey Cake. Coconut Honey Cake was soft, smooth and had a  great texture. My hubby loved them I will make for him again. Even his friends relished the Coconut Honey Cake who dropped down last weekend to our house.

Coconut Honey Cake

I love chocolates hence for me put chocolates in any dessert I will eat them willingly. My hubby isn’t fond of chocolates. So my wicked mind thought of making chocolate ganache frosting so that I can also relish them 😉 Unique combo of Coconut + honey = Coconut Honey Cake which is soft, great texture and yummy.

Last weekend we had a sumptuous meal with our close friends. I attempted baked chicken breast for the first time.. Trust me it was so delicious it got over in 2 mins. In fact I am not an ardent non veg eater but I also ate a quick bites from the baked chicken. It was juicy, succulent and yummy. I will make next time and update on blog. As always I put tried and tested recipes so that you guys can have the best of it.

I was on a short trip to Mumbai in case you were wondering why I didn’t post?

Unmould the cake on a serving plate. Spread the chocolate ganache on one cake all over. Place the other cake over it and cover the cake with chocolate ganache. Decorate with cherries, almond flakes and desiccated coconut.
