Coconut Coffee Cake

Inspired by a recipe from my mom’s family cookbook, this coffee cake is so delicious. A yellow butter cake made with coconut milk and vanilla instant pudding mix is lined and topped with a cinnamon sugar coconut mixture. Then a simple icing is drizzled on top to make it perfect. This would be ideal for brunch or an afternoon coffee break!
