    I love that cake. I took the idea and added coconut and layered shaved chocolate in the middle of the cake layers. I called it a tropical dream cake. It's so good. But how could it not be. I used yogurt in it as a milk product to add what yogurt adds 😁 which is a tender crumb. I'm a cookie and ice cream girl but this cake and a few others are to die for.
