What is Pink cake with coconut?
Pink cake with coconut is a sweet, soft cake made with coconut in or on the sponge and a pink-coloured finish. There is no single traditional origin or fixed recipe: home bakers and bakeries can vary the batter, colour and topping. The coconut may be folded through the cake, sprinkled over it, or used both ways.
It is usually cut into slices and served as a treat with tea or coffee, or at parties and gatherings. The tender crumb and sweet coconut flavour make it more of a dessert than an everyday snack. It is relatively rich in carbohydrate and fat; a medium slice is about 90 g. For a lighter serving, choose a smaller slice and pair it with fresh fruit or an unsweetened drink.
