Pro-Tips for Dream Cake Perfection
-
Chill Your Cake Layers: Cold cakes are firmer and less likely to crumble when frosted.
-
Toast with Care: Coconut burns in seconds. Watch it like a hawk and stir often for even color.
-
The Frosting Rule: Ensure cream cheese and butter are truly at room temperature to avoid a lumpy frosting.
-
For Intense Flavor: Brush each cake layer with a tablespoon of pineapple juice or coconut rum before frosting.
-
Make-Ahead Magic: Bake and freeze the layers up to a month ahead. Thaw in the fridge. Frosting can be made 2 days ahead and refrigerated; re-whip before using.
