Six delicious layers of yummy coconut cake are thoroughly infused with coconut flavor. I’ve used a combination of cream of coconut, both sweetened and unsweetened coconut, along with a bit of coconut extract to achieve this lovely cake; the unsweetened coconut is ground with some of the sugar to boost up the coconut flavor. An easy to make coconut custard provides a luscious filling between two layers, and a silky Swiss Meringue Coconut Buttercream fills the remaining layers and covers the outside. And of course any coconut layer cake should be covered with a deep drift of sweet coconut. I’ve lightly toasted the coconut to use as a garnish on this cake, but if you prefer you can cover the cake with untoasted unsweetened coconut. This is a lovely cake to serve to guests or for special occasions and can easily be made ahead of time. The coconut custard can be made the day before, along with toasting the coconut, if desired, to use as a garnish to cover the outside of the cake. The cake itself can also be baked the day before. Then all that’s left to do before serving is to make the Buttercream and assemble the cake.
