A flavoring company says We’re not normally big fans of “box” cakes, but this one is special! This easy, informal—but very rich—cake is the perfect way to cool off after a spicy meal. If you want to be fancy, go ahead and make it into a layer cake or toast the coconut flakes before garnishing, but we think you’ll love this indulgent treat just as it is.
