Dessert anyone? This recipe of a cake that I am sharing with you today is one the easiest and most hassle-free recipes I have ever tried! What I love about this cake is the combination of flavors. The coconut, peppermint, chocolate, etc., play in your mouth. You would want to take a bite all the time. Give this one a try and feel free to add more ingredients if you feel like it lacks flavor. I highly recommend that you give it your take and share it with others as well.
