This coconut cake recipe uses a regular white cake mix and spruces it up with a lovely cream cheese frosting + optional lemon curd. This coconut cake is easy to make and will impress everyone.

Chocolate Cake with Marshmallow Frosting
This is a recipe for a one-layer black and white cake, which is a chocolate cake with white frosting.

Since a naked cake is just a cake frosted with only a crumb coat, it’s honestly the easiest kind of cake to do.
