No I did not spell Macaron wrong and yes I meant to add the extra 'o'. This cake was inspired by mum's coconut macaroon biscuits which I've loved ever since I was a child and she would always stick a little piece of a glace cherry in the centre of each one, so came the cherry on top of my cake. I like to base everything I make on one or a few central ingredients and make it the star, or sometimes a drink or dessert as I believe anything can turn into a cake! This time I chose those biscuits and the inside is a a concoction I made which is similar to a Japanese Cheesecake, without the cheese and instead coconut cream. This cake is not crispy at all like the biscuits and and is very light and soft. The outside is coated with fresh cream and sprinkled around the cake is frsh shredded coconut. Try to break a coconut was a real hassle as I didn't want to use a hammer in case it rolled away or something. But I managed to get the water out after lot's of googling and experimenting, but I had to leave the coconut cracking to my dad.
