I can’t keep away from chocolate so came up with this chocolate-coconut combination. Also I have frosted this cake. The cake has a dense texture and looks quite tempting. My last take on coconut was Hot Coconut Milk Cake…. Hmmm yummy!

It’s getting quite hot in here. Just waiting for winter season now…….awaiting the chills. I love winter and rains and hate summer. Because it gets quite humid and sweaty out here.

Notes

2. If coconut milk not available you could use cows milk. But the cake wouldn’t be as dense as coconut cake.Skip nuts if you wish to.
