CHOCOLATE COCONUT COFFEE CAKE

Chocolate coconut coffee cake is easy and delicious.

Chocolate Coconut Coffee Cake

Make this chocolate coconut coffee cake to serve friends and family over coffee anytime.  If you like chocolate, you will love this cake.  It keeps well for several days refrigerated or in a cool place.  You don’t have to add the drizzle.  You could just sprinkle with powdered sugar but the more chocolate the better as far as I am concerned.  This cake is good with milk as a snack and children will love it with the chocolate chips.  It could be served as a dessert with ice cream or whipped cream on top.  You might also like our recipe for applesauce marshmallow coffee cake.
