If you love coconut, this little cake is a dream come true. Both creamy and soft with a little bit of coconut chew, this starts with a thin layer of fluffy coconut cake (that’s honestly delicious all on its own). A thick layer of decadent coconut custard dresses it up further, finished with a thick cream-based glaze that provides a glossy surface and drips beautifully down the sides of each cake. Sweetened coconut is the perfect finisher and an opportunity to get creative. Leave the coconut as-is for a classic all-white effect; toast it for more color and flavor. Or give a nod to the classic grocery store coconut snack cake by mixing a small amount of gel food coloring into your coconut to tint it a bright color.

For many Americans, regardless of background, Mexican food is comfort food –- a basket of warm tortilla chips and salsa feels as familiar and welcoming as a childhood dinner prepared by Mom.

A fajita platter full of grilled veggies is one of the tastiest plant-based meals you’ll find when dining at a Mexican restaurant; now you can make your own! Ready in just 35 minutes, you’ll be amazed at the flavors you can achieve. It all starts with a smoky homemade tomato salsa featuring grilled roma tomatoes, scallions, limes, jalapeño, and garlic. Brush some of the salsa over asparagus, red onion, zucchini, and bell pepper before grilling, and mix another dollop into mashed pinto beans. Warm the tortillas until soft and slightly charred, stuff with the grilled veggies, and serve with the mashed beans, remaining salsa, avocado slices, and lime wedges. For best results, use a grill basket to grill all the vegetables so that none slip between the grates!
