[@bobbieswanson7176]

I just recently made this cake and it is my favorite flavor of cake. I chop my pecans really small so family members without teeth can enjoy the cake. Do you toast your coconut flakes?

[@OnTheSpectrumKitchen]

@@bobbieswanson7176 that's optional. I didn't, but you can if you want.
