Coconut Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

"Coconut Cake with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting is a Southern dessert that hits the spot. To keep the layers moist, homemade coconut syrup is brushed over the layers. The cake is finished with a creamy, coconut-infused frosting that’s rich but not too sweet. With 20 minutes of prep and a quick bake in the oven, this cake is perfect for any occasion. This coconut layer cake with coconut cream cheese frosting has layers of coconut frosting, a rich coconut flavor, and a tender crumb that melts in your mouth with each bite. If you love all things coconut, you'll love this cake. The secret to this ultra moist cake is a coconut syrup that is brushed on both layers before it's frosted. This is the key to keeping those cake layers nice and moist as it seeps into the cake. This syrup is made with coconut, sugar, and water, so it's kind of like a simple syrup."
