Coconut, Mocha, and Peanut Butter Cake

Last week I had a customer request a cake for her boyfriend's birthday. Some of his favorite flavors include coconut, coffee, peanut butter, and pistachios. I don't think I've ever incorporated these flavors in a cake before, let alone a combination of them! It was a fun challenge and in the end we were able to use three of the 4. This six inch cake had 4 layers of vanilla cake brushed with coconut milk, filled with 3 layers of peanut butter Swiss meringue buttercream, then covered with mocha Swiss meringue buttercream (made with blue bottle coffee) and finished off with a light layer of toasted coconut. Phew!
