Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the grated coconut with something else?

Yes, if you don't have grated coconut on hand, you can substitute it with shredded coconut or even finely chopped nuts for a different texture and flavor.

How should I store the leftover cake?

To store leftover cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.

The cake is too dry, what might have gone wrong?

If the cake turns out dry, it could be due to overmixing the batter or baking for too long. Make sure to mix just until combined and keep an eye on the baking time, testing with a toothpick to ensure it's not overbaked.

Delish! The most moist cake ever! Admittedly I questioned the lack of salt so I added just 1/2 tsp. I had been looking for a new dessert recipe that wouldn't mess with my husband's blood sugar and this worked due to the fiber and protein. Thank you!

About 170°F, and you should use which ever milk you like best, it really doesn't matter.
