Notes

  • Make ahead: Both the cake layers and frosting can be made a day in advance and stored separately.

  • Storage: Keep cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days.

  • Freezing: The unfrosted cake layers freeze well for up to 2 months.

  • Tip: For more intense flavor, toast the pecans and coconut before adding to the frosting.
