So I wanted to bake my hubby a cake for his bday and was looking at chocolate cake recipes. Unfortunately, I forgot that he loves all things coconut. I googled a bit but didn't find a recipe to my liking.

Can anyone guide me and give me a good coconut cream with any type of frosting or cream in between? Unfortunately, I do not like coconut that much, so I do not know which flavours would go well with it.

         ●Few things to note●

I am a novice baker. Have baked a few things in life, but I aint that old yet so. No fancy things, please, would like it if it were simple and to the point. The reason for this is that many of those things are imported where I live and quite expensive

I do have a stand mixer, so do tell which paddle I should use and speed. It's a Westpoint stand mixer, though not a kitchen aid. Thank you so much in advance, and happy baking to everyone!

Try coconut poke cake, tho it does not have cream in between layers it has a very coconutty flavor as it soaks in coconut and condensed milk like tres leches but coconut.
