Chocolate Cake With Coconut Filling
Hello Fellas!!!
What’s the highlight of any meal for u? The Dessert 😀 Isn’t it!! But we don’t always have this luxury with our everyday home cooked meal. Although Indian homes always have some Mithai or something sweet disguised as Prashad! In our house, cakes too 😛
But for those days, when we have nothing of this sort- Chocolates suffice 🙂 We have lots of chocolates stocked in our refrigerator all the time-Dairy milk silk, snickers,mars, bounty, twix and amul too. Bounty is a personal favourite! Chocolate and coconut go so well together. I have been thinking to bake something with coconut for long.
So chocolate cake with coconut filling it is!!
Pinterest had several recipes with chocolate and coconut. I got lots of ideas but i found this to be very simple and quick. A dense chocolate bundt cake with a creamy coconut filling in the center. Perfect!
For those who detest coconut(which is very strange, how can you not like coconut, weird :P) try cinnamon and almonds or maybe strawberries and cream cheese.
You can serve this as it is or pour some chocolate ganache over it, like I did 😀
The condensed milk from the coconut filling tends to seep down at the bottom of the pan and gives a wonderful caramelized top!It’s a real treat!! So get baking and enjoy the Chocolate Cake With Coconut Filling!
