For an extra coconutty flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the batter. Room temperature eggs will emulsify better, creating a smoother batter and a more tender cake. Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until just combined. Toasted walnuts add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor, but they can be omitted if preferred. Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
