Recipe: Perfect Almond and coconut cake Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Almond and coconut cake. And I used more almond flour instead of the coconut flakes as I wanted it to be an almond treat. It was delicious just richer than necessary to be so delicious. To make the cake we start with the layers.

Unlike delicate Angel Food Cakes or petit fours layered with jam, these Almond-Coconut Mini Cakes cater to the chocolate lovers.

The cake gains its rich, dark chocolate color from unsweetened cocoa and an extra moist, fluffy texture from a secret ingredient: sour cream.

They're also dynamic in texture, with garnishes of flaked coconut.

Without leavening or topping, it is really a cross between almond cake and shortbread.

Almond sponge cake and white chocolate coconut filling with a hint of lemon topped with Raffaello candies and desiccated coconut.

It takes just few minutes to whip up this recipe, best for busy days.
