This has a lovely flavor, but it comes out a bit dry. I smothered it in chocolate icing with toasted coconut on top, but the cake itself was still a bit dry underneath and crumbled on the plate. I froze half of it and will use that to make a lovely coconut/chocolate trifle.

Very good but needs icing as could get a bit dry if not eaten quite quickly - a slice was cut even before the frosting was made - nothing lasts long in this house !! I will make it again as it so quick and successful .
