Gâteaux à la noix de coco

The new generation probably doesn't know it. But the "coconut cake" is a delicacy that has lulled the childhood of a whole generation. What makes it special? It consists of grated coconut, sugar and sometimes pistachios. The final touch: a few pieces of orange peel for a more sumptuous taste. However, this little delicacy seems to disappear with time. You have to go to places like China Town to find these cakes.
