- Serves 12
From Food and Wine. I adapted recipe to make a 4 layer cake using 2 nine inch cake pans. I also used regular coconut as I could not find the large coconut curls. This one one of several delcious desserts I made for my birthday party . Read more It was way over 12 serving probably more like 20.! I was just about to slice the cake ( you can barely see the knife cut on top of the cake when someone said, "no, no" take a picture of it! See less
