Great recipe, my husband and friends enjoyed the finished product.
this recipe is great i had it before i just needed to know how to make it because i frogot
Thought I would love the concept of a coconut cake/bread, but it came out too dry!! There wasn't enough liquids or fats in this. I would like to try this again, but I would have to tweak it. It needed more of something to make it a bit moister, possibly less flour or more butter or evaporated milk. The bottom of it burnt :(. Flavor was great, just very dry.
i love it
everyone enjoyed it @ Black History celebration @ work
making now thanks
Just placed in the oven :) Give Thanks

I love this cake, since finding this recipe I have baked it so many times, nice accompaniment with a scoop of ice cream. Yum!
My family receipe is slightly different in that we use condensed milk instead of evaporated and we substitute half the coconut for sweet potato.
got the recipe and have to make one later.
i love the cake i used coconut milk insted of evaporated
Like My grandmother I use evaporated milk and Red label wine as well. Please do not forget the rose water and almond; adds a unique flavor.
yum!
