One fine Afternoon, I was browsing my pantry and the fridge looking for something I can bake out of it. I had the stock of sour cream and a bag of desiccated coconut, which I know I would be able to make something sweet and simple.
Coconut Slice is just a perfect simple thing to satisfy my sweet craving at that moment. As you may notice from the image, I made a thick coconut ice frosting and they just gave a perfect balance between the sweetness of the frosting and the cake.
So, indulge yourself with some Coconut Slices for afternoon tea treats.
