This cake recipe is a keeper. Chamomile tea lends its earthy, floral flavor not once but twice in this luscious cake. First by adding flavor to the sugar that sweetens the batter, and then by infusing a simple syrup that adds moisture and sweetness to the cake after it bakes. While it all sounds fancy, this chamomile coconut cake recipe is quite simple to make. The coconut cream frosting is a perfect flavor match to the chamomile; together they yield a flawless dessert recipe.
To decorate the cake, first apply a very thin layer of frosting with an offset spatula. Wipe the spatula to remove any frosting that now has crumbs in it. This first layer is called a crumb coat. It adheres crumbs to the cake to help the rest of the frosting stay pristine when applied.
