Lemon-Filled Coconut Cake

Coconut cake is always very sweet, and luscious lemon curd provides a sunburst of tangy flavor that I adore. You can buy it at specialty food shops, but lemon curd is also simple to make. Once you know how, you can share small jars as gifts for your most precious friends, or enjoy it on breakfast biscuits or teatime scones. Whether you make the lemon curd yourself or buy it, you can skip the frosting by covering the cake layers with whipped cream and showering the cake with coconut flakes,
