DELICIOUS LEMON COCONUT CAKE

Source: Flavorite

Tangy lemon filling between layers of tender white cake. Top it all off with a rich coconut-cream cheese frosting. Some people think that it is the best cake they’ve ever eaten.

The very Best From Scratch Lemon Coconut Cake recipe on the internet. Layers of coconut white cake (from scratch) with homemade lemon curd and cream cheese frosting. All topped with more coconut!

I have NEVER made a cake from scratch successfully! today however, that all changed .. this cake is so easy I will bake it forever! Moist, light, and EASY.

I made this cake and it was amazing. I used a double batch to make a three tier cake. I iced it with buttercream frosting and some lemon juice and topped it off with shredded coconut and some lemon zest. It looked amazing and tasted even better. Also it was one of the easiest cakes I’ve ever made. Will definitely make it again!

Give me ALL the coconut desserts. Maybe because it looks like soft fluffy snow? Or maybe because when added to the top of this gorgeous Lemon Coconut Cake it becomes the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten.

That was the most easiest cake to make & so moist, I used all the lemon rind of a large lemon and only put less than half a cup of cane sugar as I thought the sugar was excessive in the recipe & added a touch more coconut. For the Frosting I used the following 270 mls coconut cream, 2 1/2 cup icing sugar, 1 cup margarine- with desiccated coconut on the top. YUMO!!!! Big hit- husband & parents loved it & they hate coconut- great recipe- will make again & again
