Coconut and Chocolate Cake

The coconut and chocolate cake is a soft and tasty dessert, perfect for breakfast or a snack. I often ate this coconut and chocolate cake when I was little, and being a sweet tooth, I loved it. It had been a long time since I made it, so I decided to remedy that: it’s a cake that is easily made with simple ingredients. I recommend trying it, it will fly off the shelves at home!
