If you love coconut this little cake is a dream come true. Both creamy and soft with a hint of coconut chew it starts with a thin layer of fluffy coconut cake (which is delicious in its own right). A thick layer of decadent coconut custard tops it all off finished with a thick cream-based icing that provides a glossy surface and drips beautifully down the sides of each cake. Sweetened coconut is the perfect finishing touch and a chance to get creative. Leave the coconut as is for a classic all-white effect; toast it for more colour and flavour. Or give a nod to the classic supermarket coconut cake by mixing a small amount of gel food colouring into your coconut to give it a bright colour.

2 teaspoons baking powder
