There are days where I want something beautifully simple. I want a slice of subtle smooth cake that pairs nicely with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. I want a refreshing slice that can be dressed up with whipped cream and fruit or dressed down to relish in it's own deliciousness. This is that cake. A light coconut cake with a base made of cream cheese or yogurt or even sour cream!
(Don’t fret, I’ve tried all three and they have all turned out equally delicious. So if you don’t have one of those ingredients, you still have two other options! Either way you decide to whip this up, it’ll be gone by the end of the day.)
