Hello, friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day.
¡Hola, amigos! Espero que estén teniendo un día maravilloso!.*
Today I bring you a recipe that I decided to prepare to participate in thehttps://peakd.com/qurator/contest @qurator. Here is this week's link,https://peakd.com/qurator/@qurator/qurators-hive-top-chef-or-fruit. It's a recipe I made very early in the morning. I decided to make a strawberry cake combined with coconut to create a delicious cake. My husband brought me a tray of strawberries, and a few days ago I had bought two coconuts to drink the water, as it was extremely hot. I saved the coconut meat, which I am using to make this recipe. I thought of this combination, and I imagined it could make a delicious and elegant cake. The freshness of the strawberries, with their vibrant red color and sweet, slightly tart flavor, complemented the coconut perfectly. When preparing the cake, I added pieces of fresh strawberry. This not only added incredible flavor, but also a beautiful visual touch. Finally, I decorated the cake with sliced strawberries before baking and, once out of the oven, with more fresh strawberries and a touch of grated dried coconut. The result was a delicious, elegant, and fluffy cake. I highly recommend it, friends! Without further ado, here are the ingredients and step-by-step instructions:

Oh @dlizara that is a one unique way of making cakes with coconut and strawberries. I never thought we could put the two in once recipe. That is amazing. I enjoyed reading the process because of how concise you are telling it to us and the ingredients and photos are very interesting. This is such a good read of a unique recipe. I guess the strawberries, which are yummy for sure, made the cake look elegant and expensive. Homemade cakes are the best because we can use natural and fresh ingredients. Oh I wish I could have some slice of that delicious cake❤️
