Chocolate coconut glazed chocolate cake

I love Tim Horton’s chocolate toasted coconut donuts.   Not all the locations make them so if I’m ever in and see them, they become hard to resist.  This toasted coconut glazed chocolate cake is an all time favourite in our home.  Something about that toasty nutty flavour with the chocolate screams “I go hand in hand with a warm cup of Java!” Being the coffee nut that I am, it goes without saying that this is one of my favourite treats. I incorporated that donut taste into a light snacking cake which can be an easy desert to whip up or serve for an afternoon tea.

This also freezes extremely well so it is the perfect cake to add to your freezer and pull out when that hankering strikes to just have something chocolatey. Or of course if you want to share with some unexpected company.  This is surely something I guarantee will impress!

Now if you are looking for that super sweet, rich,  gooey desert…you can keep looking.  This is not it.  This is a snacking cake to have with your afternoon coffee or as a light desert.  Serve it with a dollop of whip cream and it makes a pretty presentation.

For the Cake you will make a simple chocolate cake in an 9×11″ pan




Enjoy!
