[email protected]Not a fan of coconut, so I omitted the topping. The cake itself was still very moist and flavorful.

[email protected]Transporting the cake to the party was a bit tricky, as it's quite delicate. Otherwise, the cake was delicious and very festive.

[email protected]Loved the cake, but the topping was a bit too dry for me. I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
