This coconut cloud cake transports you to a tropical paradise with every bite. Fluffy, light, and infused with rich coconut flavor, this showstopper dessert has become my signature celebration cake that never fails to impress guests.
I first made this for my sister’s birthday after she returned from a Hawaiian vacation. The coconut reminded her of the islands, and now it has become our family’s most requested celebration cake whenever someone needs a little taste of paradise.
