Easy Coconut Cake Recipe – Oma's Kokosnusskuchen
by: Gerhild Fulson / Oma Gerhild shares German recipes rooted in family tradition.
Need something delicious to go with your coffee? How about a coconut cake? This variation of a kokosnusskuchen is absolutely delicious.
For this recipe use grated or desiccated coconut. If these aren't available, shredded can be used. It's just a bit more difficult to cut nice pieces because the shreds pull the topping apart.
Still delicious though!
If you love coconut, then you really need to try it. A bit of non-German tropical sunshine.
