Cherry Coconut Cake Recipe

Now that you know that this post is all about lots of cherries and coconuts, let’s get into a little bit of introduction before we jump into the Cherry coconut cake recipe. If you have read my previous blogs, you might have known that most of the recipes are my invention. So, this was such an invention which came out of the Blue.

My son absolutely love the cakes and bakes that I prepare. Everyone of us are particular of certain things when we are tasting a cake. For few of them it would be the quantity of sweet, for few of them it would be texture, for few of them it would be how soft it is. Overall it is the taste that matters. But, for my son it is the cherry. That’s how kids are right? He asks for cherry whenever I bake something. So, there popped up an idea. I thought ‘why not prepare a cake made up of cherry?’. He was delighted to hear about it.

Next investigation was on what goes well with cherry. From my previous few recipe inventions, I had found out that adding coconut for baking gives special taste. Tried the trick of adding coconut to cherry and the magic happened. Presenting the delicious Cherry coconut cake recipe to you all.

Notes:

• Use Fresh Coconut straight away.
• To easily pit the cherries, use a round piping nozzle.
• To make instant sour cream, I used 1/2 tsp Lemon juice added to 1/2 cup full fat cream!
• Store this cake in fridge for up to 3 days.
