Coconut Whipped Cream – You need one (14 ounce) can of canned coconut milk, chilled for at least 6 hours. Yogurt Frosting – To make a yogurt frosting, use a thicker yogurt so you don’t have to strain it. Greek yogurt or Skyr works great here.

healthy frosting

Chill the cake between each layer of frosting so the cake is easier to frost. Add about 2 tablespoons of whipped coconut cream onto the first layer, add the second layer, and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.

frosting tips

If you’d like a 4 tiered cake, make 2 batches of cakes. Or use double recipe and use 4, 4″ round cake pans. Be sure to use wooden skewer down the center of the cake to prevent the layers from shifting.
