National Coconut Torte Day

National Coconut Torte Day is on March 13th in the United States.

Tortes are a type of sweet dessert dish. There are a quite a few popular and well known European dishes that are tortes. Tortes are rich cakes that are usually multilayered and which can be filled with a variety of different ingredients, including whipped cream and fruit. After being baked and cooled, tortes are often glazed.

This particular type of torte uses coconuts inside it. Coconuts, like so many things with "nut" in their name, are not botanical nuts but are culinary ones. Many different parts of the coconut are edible. The part that is usually used in dessert dishes is the white, fleshy part of the seed, which can be used both fresh and dried.
