Reviews
7.4.22 I had a 15.25 oz box (added 3 oz cake flour to come to 18.25 oz) of a marble cake mix that was beyond the “best by…” date, and I had exactly 3/4 cup coconut milk in the fridge left from dinner last night, so this recipe was ideal. It came out of the oven at 32 minutes, and was perfectly cooked and tender. Couldn’t taste any coconut at all, but maybe that’s because of the cake mix I used. Super easy to make for a cook-out day and served with just a dusting of confectioners sugar. Certainly nothing fancy here, just a quick-and-easy, simple, and tasty dessert.
Excellent recipe! I used sugar-free yellow cake mix.
I used coconut milk for all 1 cup of liquid. I also sprinkled the top with unsweetened coconut before baking. Tasted great with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
Very light and tasty!
This recipe made great cupcakes-I put coconut flavor in the icing and sweetened coconut on top. Didn’t change anything in the recipe. Found coconut milk and the cake mix at the dollar store! I would make it again
It was so light and moist. I brought in to my coworkers and it was all gone before lunchtime! Cake is a breakfast food, right??
It’s delicious- not going to bother with icing.
Cake was delicious! I frosted it with white frosting that I mixed about a tablespoon of coconut milk and a teaspoon of coconut extract and covered the entire cake in sweetened coconut flakes.
