Charcoal-Kokos-Kuchen

Baking attempt failed. Again. This is the second time the cake is burnt, worse looking than the charcoal.
The first time was the fruit pudding cake. Today is the chocolate coconut cake. I've to admit the first time was horrendous, the crumbles were black and it was difficult to separate from the fruits. This time, we went out for lunch, leaving the cake in the oven for an hour like it was instructed on the recipe. We came home to a kitchen that seemed to have underwent combustion. That heat and that smell, could suffocate. We opened the door of the oven, everything was pitch black. Ha ha. Needless to say, we got a charred chocolate coconut cake.
I was sulking. Of course, this time I prepared everything on my own, it's my baby cake. My creation! I want to save it... sobs sobs. Flo brought it out to the balcony to cool it down. I was not convinced it was inedible, so I brought a knife and cut beneath the burned crusts. There was light, it wasn't dead exactly.
I took it back to the kitchen, removed all the burned portion carefully. Oh, my lovely cake. We can still eat it. Yummy, chocolate and coconut!

p/s: title means "charcoal coconut cake"
