How this recipe comes together

Making a Coconut Cake Roll might seem daunting at first, but it’s quite straightforward. You’ll start by preheating your oven and setting up your baking sheet. Next, combine your dry ingredients before whipping up the eggs and sugar until light and airy. Then, it’s a gentle fold in of the coconut and the wet ingredients. After spreading the batter, it gets baked until golden perfection. Once it’s cooled, you roll it up, chill, fill it, and re-roll. This method creates a lovely spiral that’s not only beautiful but delicious!
