I've wanted to make a coconut cake for a while now, especially since I read The Coincidence of Coconut Cake, but none of the recipes I found seemed coconut-y enough. I wanted a cake that was moist (sorry, I know, awful word...can we make up a new one), filled with coconut flavor in every way possible, and covered with a delicious coconut buttercream. So...I made my own from scratch! It was so rich, incredibly delicious, and just what I was hoping for.
