This unassuming loaf has a pleasant surprise: There's a layer of coconut filling inside the chocolate cake, which offers contrasting taste (as in sweetness) and texture (thanks to the chewy shredded coconut meat). Because it is made with melted margarine and also melted chocolate in addition to cream (in place of milk), the cake is extra moist and rich tasting. It also keeps very well at room temperature, wrapped well in plastic.
