[Nice Lemon Coconut Cream Cake] (https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/159228)
I recently had a piece of lemon and coconut cream cake and enjoyed it so much that I decided to try and capture the experience in vape form.
Lemon needs to be at the forefront of the profile as it is the dominant flavour, so I used relatively high percentages of FA lemon Sicily and VT sour lemon.
I then added some CAP lemon meringue pie as a bridge to the 'cake' part of the profile, rounding it out with a dash of FW yellow cake, INW yes we cheesecake and some LB vanilla ice cream.
The VIC bridges nicely; it adds vanilla flavour to the cake and sets up the coconut cream together with some WF coconut custard, which leaves FW sweet coconut to add a more authentic coconut flavour - this is the sprinkle of coconut on top of the cake.
1% (FW) Cake (yellow)
0.8% (WF) Coconut Custard SC
2% (CAP) Lemon Meringue Pie
4% (FA) Lemon Sicily
4% (VT) Sour Lemon
0.7% (FLV) Sweet Coconut
1.5% (LB) Vanilla Ice Cream
1.5% (INW) Yes We Cheesecake
I found I had to be sparing with the coconut as it has a strange muting effect on the lemon and can easily overwhelm it if too much is used.
In order for the cream to come through properly, this recipe needs a 7 day steep, but it is actually pretty nice straight away.
In terms of subs, you could swap out the VIC for a cream/cream combo of your choice (may try sweet cream and cream fresh), and you could also swap out the cake for a pastry to turn the cake into a pie.
Please mix, enjoy and let me know what you think!
I can actually make that! I guess I know what I'm doing later. I absolutely love the flavor profile.
