Coconut flakes used in baking cakes come in two types: Sweetened and Unsweetened. To begin with, Sweetened coconut is moist and used when a sweet coconut taste is desired. On the other hand, unsweetened coconut has a stronger taste and is drier, adding a crunch to cakes when chocolate or fruit is used. All in all, both types of coconut can be used interchangeably to add a tropical flavor to baked goods.
Coconut cake is an utterly delightful dessert that is bound to tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more! The soft, fluffy texture of the cake paired with the crunchy, sweetened coconut bits on top, not only creates an amazing mouthfeel but also adds a subtle nutty flavor that is hard to resist.
