Chocolate Coconut Flake Cake

Good Day Everyone!

I’m someone with a sweet tooth and a firm believer of the saying ‘There’s always room for desserts’. Growing up, my Mom used to make a variety of desserts like Custard Jelly Pudding, Apple Pie, Mango Pudding and various cakes. Most of our (I and my siblings) birthday cakes as kids were homemade and they were DELICIOUS! So, I guess my love for the ‘sweet’ sensation of taste stemmed at a young age. Anyways, when I am in the mood and not too lazy, I try my hand in cakes as well. This is one such recipe, which turned out to be a success and was devoured by my friends.
