Lemon, Coconut, Cream and Chocolate Bits Cake

First of all - do not ever and I mean ever unmold a cake while it's still hot - an advice I should have followed myslef!!!But eventhough I've ended with a cake that slightly resembles a vulcano crater the scent it emanated throughout the shole kicthen and the deliciousness of the flavour is something that easily surpasses and almost makes forget my frustration for being so eager! This is a perfect tea time cake for these chilly, rainy winter afternoons or it can be served as a dessert for a party. Sweet chocolate chunks and tangy lemon zests come together perfectly in this dense and moist  cake with a hint of coconut.
