Serve Cold: This cake tastes best chilled and pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Make Ahead: You can make it a day in advance—the flavor gets even better as it sits.
Variations
Toasted Coconut: Toast the coconut flakes in the oven for extra crunch and a nutty aroma.
Pineapple Twist: Add crushed pineapple between the cake and whipped topping for a tropical upgrade.
Chocolate Drizzle: For a Mounds bar-inspired version, drizzle melted chocolate over the whipped topping before adding coconut.
