For an even more intense coconut flavor, try using coconut milk instead of water in the cake batter. To toast the coconut, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly. Garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for an elegant presentation.
