Coconut cake is a soft crunchy cake which is elegant and sophisticated yet very traditional and simplistic and it’s perfect for any occasion!!
Coconut is an exotic food and is mostly consumed by health enthusiasts.
Coconut is a delicious and nutritious addition to your diet when consumed in moderation.
Despite being high in saturated fat,coconuts provide Manganese and fibre,which is essential for bone health.
Fatty acids in coconut contains powerful antioxidants that help boost immune function and reduce systemic inflammation in the body.
A 2018 reviews of studies supported certain weight-loss related claims, suggesting that the medium chain triglycerides in coconut and coconut oil could enhance fat burning, increased energy expenditure and even supress appetite,but only if included as part of a low-fat diet.
Coconut cake is extremely nutritious specially for growing children.This coconut cake is the kind of cake that they can't help but sneak a bite throughout the day.
With coconut flakes in the batter there is crunch of coconut in each bite.
I adore baking this cake! It’s moist, fluffy and coconutty.
When I started experimenting with nutritious baking I fully expected to compromise on taste and texture. But I’m happy to share that this coconut cake is at least as good as traditional cakes!!
