The Best Mocha Snacking Cake with Coconut Flakes

AUTHOR NOTES
Here's my take on classic Swedish mocha squares, also known as kärleksmums, mockarutor, and sometimes referred to as snodas. It's a moist chocolate- and coffee-
infused cake with a coffee-Kahlua soak, topped with mocha frosting and coconut flakes.
Unlike traditional recipes that use butter in the cake batter, I use a neutral oil instead for increased moisture.
I've also amped up the coffee flavor by adding extra coffee to both the batter and the soaking mixture (plus some Kahlua). While traditional mocha squares sport a thick mocha icing and shredded coconut, I opt for a super light and fluffy mocha buttercream frosting. The finishing touch is a generous amount of coconut flakes, which are much larger than shredded coconut, for added texture and flavor.
