Recipe Tips
- If you want to make this vegan-friendly, you can swap the dairy milk for soy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk.
- Adding some cocoa will turn this cake into a chocolate coconut cake. I would add about one tablespoon, but you can add more or less depending on how rich in chocolate you want it to be.
- If you do not have any self-rising flour, then you can easily make some with the addition of baking powder. Add two teaspoons of baking powder to one cup of plain flour.
- Depending on where you live, caster sugar might also be called baker's sugar or superfine sugar.
