Eggless Coconut Chocolate Cake
Eggless Coconut Chocolate Cake is a perfect celebration treat. Eggless Coconut Chocolate Cake doesn’t have egg still Eggless Coconut Chocolate Cake is very delicious, soft and spongy. Eggless Coconut Chocolate Cake is very easy to make. Coconut and chocolate is one of my favorite combinations. Even better if those two ingredients are in the form of cake.
I usually don’t bake much cake as my family doesn’t have sweet tooth specially me and my husband. I love baking, but most of the time I bake savories like pizza, pasta, lasagna etc. or breads. However, this time my girls demanded to eat cake and with decoration, as there is not any reason for celebration or not even any festival day! So, decided to make this cake with simple decoration so they can feel it’s decorative cake and that too before they come from school, so I can take photos without any disturbance, otherwise when girls at home and if I do something like this I can’t manage to click even a single shot.
Eggless Coconut Chocolate cake that is not only a show stopper, but it tastes great as well. Made from scratch chocolate cake layered with cream and coconut frosting is truly exceptional. A thick chocolate glaze is smoothed over the top of the cake and runs down the sides adding character and more chocolate flavor. The cake layers are thick, dense, light, and super moist. This cake may look wise or sounds complicated, but trust me, it’s really very simple and easy!
