    Who will resist to these pretty mini lemon coconut cakes? Not me.

    These mini lemon coconut cakes are soft and delicious. I particularly like the combination of flavors of exotic coconut and the tangy taste given by the lemon.

    I top my mini cakes with raspberries and sliced almonds. If you like you can add an icing made with the juice of one lemon and 150g of powdered sugar. Then count 3 to 4 hours to allow it to harden.
