Coconut and lemon pair together beautifully for a delicious Easter dessert. Add colored coconut for a festive look that is perfect for any holiday or occasion.
Easter is just over a week away and I am planning a delicious meal for family and friends. Ham is our traditional main course, along with veggies and other yummy sides. Dessert often varies, usually something fruity and something chocolate. Since my whole family loves lemon, a lemon-flavored dessert will definitely be on the menu, and this cake fits the bill.
A light and lemony cake is layered with homemade coconut pastry cream, frosted with a whipped coconut frosting, and decorated with coconut and chocolate eggs. I love creating different decorations for cakes, and decided to dye some of my coconut green, so it looked like Easter basket grass. It came out so cute and I hope you make the recipe and have a Happy Easter! Buona Pasqua!
