With Lyndall and Perrin
This is a cake with a great story. Perrin recently celebrated an important birthday. To include him in a joint celebration meant making a cake that he would love. Lyndall said that coconut would please him. Coconut cake? I had no ideas, so I called my expert advisors: Catherine and Imogen. Without a doubt, they recommended this delicious cake.
In the baking process, Catherine and Imogen were with me in spirit (and with photos to remind me that they played a part in Cake 48). See photo below.
My expert advisors would not have been impressed with my timing: in my rush I frosted the cake while it was still warm, and probably because I was unfamiliar with the frosting. It cascaded over the edges into a drippy mess. This did not stop us from enjoying our celebrations.
The recipe. And photos of my expert advisors kept me company

This is a delicious cake, and wicked. A treat for two special birthday boys.
