Cool and Glaze
- Cool the Cake: Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, coconut milk, and extract until smooth and pourable. Adjust the thickness by adding more sugar or milk as needed.
- Glaze and Garnish: Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled cake. While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle additional shredded coconut on top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve: Slice and serve as-is, or pair with fresh fruit or whipped cream for a refreshing finish.
Storage Tips
Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. The cake also freezes well—wrap tightly in plastic and freeze for up to 2 months.
