I would of loved to have had coconut to chew on! I have a fond memory of a childhood treat (that was likely very bad for you) called a Hostess Snowball. It was a little round of chocolate cake with a marshmallow topping covered with coconut. That's what your recipe reminds me of and that's a good thing...

Anyhow, great recipe, and I need to get some of the black cocoa powder. Where do you buy yours? Love that you use shredded coconut as well. Also a great tip for Nigellas chocolate syrup, so it can be chocolate syrup cake as well.

In the Post section where blog posts and draft posts are - my thumbnail image is incorrect as someone else image has been inserted; and some of my blog post images are inserted with images.

We have coconuts dropping off the trees in our front, and back gardens, so the issue is doing something constructive with them.

That reminds me that we would do the same thing with sugar cane! Either way, this cake sounds quite tasty. I love chocolate and I love coconut! I wonder about your oven, though.
