A chocolate and coconut cake that is rich and deeply comforting allowing you to shut out the world and indulge in the art of doing absolutely nothing at all. It’s also gluten free. When the weather takes a turn for the worst and you have no choice but to be housebound for the day is when I get the urge to bake. Plus we are all nursing colds and achy…
