Coconut Cottage Cheese Cake
Our coconut cake is light, fluffy, and perfect for any occasion!
you're making mealtime meaningful.
When we want a dessert that is a little different, then we turn to this light, fluffy cake, made with coconut and cottage cheese. It’s deliciously moist and not overly sweet, making it the perfect way to end to a family dinner, add to our book club meeting, or even whip up for brunch.
For extra richness, we add a coconut flavored whipped cream drizzled over the top of each slice, and if we want to take the drama up a notch, we’ll add a cookie for some added flair. Any leftovers we nibble on all week long – a slice for breakfast with a cup of coffee or with a tall glass of cool milk as a late night snack. Even for this die-hard chocolate lover, a cake this delicious is too good to pass up.
