Why This Recipe Works
The secret to this cake’s incredible moistness lies in the “poking” technique. Creating small holes in the cake allows the luscious coconut filling to seep deep inside, saturating every layer with tropical flavor. The rich chocolate topping adds a final layer of indulgence, completing this delightful dessert experience. This method not only enhances the cake’s moisture but also creates a beautiful marbled effect as the filling interacts with the cake.
