Mine was very yellow on the inside though. This is a perfect coconut cake recipe - easy & incredibly tasty. The only basic changes I made were to use a fork instead of a straw to poke the holes pour the cream/cond milk mixture while the cake is still hot and I made fresh whipped cream. The cake itself is soft, fluffy, and moist and the frosting is creamy coconut buttercream!

Instructions to make Coconut Cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9 inch spring form pan with non-stick spray and set aside. You can also make this cake in a 10 inch Bundt Cake pan.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and set aside.
3. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat together the  butter, sugar and coconut oil until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, vanilla extract and continue to mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Pour the buttermilk and beat until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix it all together until it’s incorporated. Gently fold in the shredded coconut.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, for about 45 minutes.  Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
6. For the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly add powered sugar and continue to mix until smooth.
7. Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the top and the sides of the cake with frosting, and top it with flaked coconut.

The only basic changes I made were to use a fork instead of a straw to poke the holes pour the cream/cond milk mixture while the cake is still hot and I made fresh whipped cream. The cake itself is soft, fluffy, and moist and the frosting is creamy coconut buttercream! A lot of coconut cakes have cream cheese frosting, but I prefer mine with coconut buttercream. It's fluffy and sweet, and partners with the cake texture in a gorgeous way. Cake dreams are happening today, lads.

Discover How to Elevate Your Mood with Food

A lot of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are terrible and are to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely nourishing and good for you. Some foods actually do boost your mood when you eat them. If you seem to feel a little bit down and need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly wonderful at beating back depression. Just make sure that you don’t get rid of the egg yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping raise your mood. Eggs, especially the yolks, are full of B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you boost your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–work better. Consume an egg and cheer up!

Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to raise your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not only that but nuts, in particular, are a fantastic protein food source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you wish to fight depression. Salmon, herring, tuna, mackerel, trout, etc, they’re all high in omega-3 and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.

It’s easy to fight your bad mood when you are eating grains. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you have a happier mood. These foods fill you up better and that can help improve your moods also. Feeling famished can be terrible! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.

Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies prove that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you feel a lot healthier. And now you know green tea can help you be happier as well!

So you see, you don’t have to turn to junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Test out these tips instead!
