Coconut Layer Cake with Coffee Frosting
"Coffee and coconut are both important ingredients in South American cuisine. They also happen to be my daughter's two favorite flavors, so she suggested that I combine them for her birthday cake this year. The result was quite successful. The yellow cake has a touch of coconut flavoring, and the filling is dulce de leche (the same one that goes into these chocolate dulce de leche whoopie pies ) with sweetened dried coconut. The frosting is rich coffee buttercream...."
