COCONUT CREAM CAKE #EASTERSWEETSWEEK

COCONUT CREAM CAKE #EASTERSWEETSWEEK
This is the best Coconut Cream Cake that I have ever tasted! It is super moist and incredibly delicious. Perfect for birthdays, holidays and potlucks. We just can’t get enough of this easy dessert!
This amazing Coconut Cream Cake recipe has been hanging around in my recipe box for at least 20 years. It came from a neighbor and it’s one of those recipes that you will make again and again.
I just love refrigerated cakes, the only problem is waiting on the cake to chill. I am so impatient when it comes to desserts or maybe when it comes to everything. This Coconut Cream Cake is totally worth the wait!
You want to chill this cake for a minimum of six hours but over night is ideal. You know, so you can eat it for breakfast. You know I did!
Just think of how delicious it is going to be when it is blazing hot this summer!
