For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of shortening in the cake batter. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra texture and flavor. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan over medium heat before adding it to the topping.
