While searching for the recipe link on line, I noticed that Bon Appétit spelled "coconut" wrong. Come on guys, my first recipe and we already have a spelling error...it's c-o-c-o-n-u-t.
Anyway, this was a particularly easy recipe to make. The coconut ingredients are very easy to find. They made a note that the unsweetened shredded coconut was available at specialty stores, so I went to Whole Foods first instead of Safeway which is my go-to supermarket. No need. Safeway had tons of unsweetened shredded coconut, at half the price of the coconut I bought at Whole Foods.

The topping gets brown pretty quickly, so make sure you loosely cover the top with some foil.
Overall, the cake is very soft and moist, a little crumbly even. The coconut flavor is subtle, but the glaze is delicious and helps bring some extra sweetness to the cake.
Looks amazing. Love coconut, Eric not so much. More for me!
