I have tried this recipe and it actually turned out really nice. Most of the recipes I’ve found required coconut extract/essence which I don’t have access to so this recipe stood out. The canned coconut milk already made it coconut-y plus the addition of desiccated coconut (for the texture). I have made small changes with the recipe though. I did not use coconut oil coz I don’t have it and I don’t like the taste of coconut oil, and I reduced the amount of desiccated coconut to 1 cup coz after adding the first cup, it was already too thick. I guess 1/2 cup or 1/3 cup would suffice for this recipe. The cake was on the dense side but it’s totally fine with me. Thanks so much for the recipe! <3

In reply to Neluka. You should use unsweetened desiccated coconut. :)

Looking forward to making this. Is the desiccated coconut sweetened or unsweetened?

In reply to Marina. Hi Marina. Yes, this cake is not your normal soft and fluffy cake. But what you lose in light and fluffy you gain in delicious coconut texture and flavor. The amount of coconut does weight it down and make it more of a dense and fluffy cake. If you prefer soft and fluffy - check out our vegan vanilla cake and then maybe frost it with the coconut frosting. All the best!

The batter was very thick but i resisted the urge to add more milk, it was almost like cookie dough! Unfortunately the cake is very dense. I measured everything with a scale. I am thinking maybe the desiccated coconut absorbed alot of the moisture in the mixture. As brands may vary, how do I know, how thick the batter should be?
