  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp baking powder
Frosting
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan

  1. Mix dry ingredients until evenly combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients and whisk into smooth batter.
  3. Fold in shredded coconut for added texture.
  4. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.

Notes

Bake less for softer texture or longer for firmer crumb. Cool fully before frosting. Freeze slices for later use. Add vanilla or lime zest for variation. Store covered and refrigerate to maintain freshness and flavor.
