- Mix the batter only until all the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make the cake dense.
- Let the cake cool completely before spreading the butter cream frosting.
- For extra flavour and crunch, sprinkle toasted coconut, chopped walnuts, and almonds on top before serving.
- If you don’t want to frost the cake, you can enjoy it as it is.
Storage and Serving
Store the unfrosted cake in an airtight container and it stays fresh at room temperature for 2 days. For longer storage, keep it refrigerated for a week.
You can decorate the cake with any frosting of your choice. I have used buttercream frosting and fondant for decoration, but you can also use whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for special occasions, parties and birthdays.
