Chocolate Coconut Cake

Description

Delicious baked treat for the whole family. You don't need to decorate the cake at all— in our family, it gets eaten very quickly, so we don't always have time for icing. You can use coconut flakes or even coconut pieces. If you slice the cake into layers and fill them with cream, you'll get a wonderful coconut cake.
