Tips:
- Use fresh shredded coconut. Fresh shredded coconut has a much better flavor and texture than dried coconut. If you can't find fresh shredded coconut, you can use unsweetened dried coconut, but be sure to soak it in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Use a fluffy coconut frosting. A fluffy coconut frosting will complement the light and airy texture of the cake.
