Hawaiian Memories: Coconut Cake

The coconut cake I had in Hawaii was so delicious... I decided to make it without oil! It's also my birthday cake this year.
The story behind this recipe
I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. The coconut cake I had at the hotel cafe was so good that I couldn't stop eating it. It was around my birthday, so it's a memorable cake for me (haha). This year, I'm gifting it to myself for my 27th birthday... just kidding (haha).

Hawaiian Coconut Cake Hawaiian Coconut Cake
I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and ate a really delicious coconut cake in the cafe of the hotel. I made it at home for my own 27th birthday!Since coconut milk is on the oily side, I wanted to try making this cake without adding any oil. When adding the coconut milk into the batter, feel free to add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, if you like. Recipe by Gakkoiburi cookpad.japan -

I cheated, and used a can of frosting because I'm too lazy to learn how to make real frosting. Remember to double the ingredients if you're making two cakes. The cake recipe calls for simple ingredients, and that's why I love it. :) Enjoy if you do try it! Teodora T. -
Holiday Coconut Rum Cake Holiday Coconut Rum Cake
This cake is so moist and delicious. If you want it not to have the alcohol, use extracts instead. You can also add the rum to the sauce while cooking it to evaporate the alcohol but leave the flavor. Great at parties, dinners or anytime. Just remember if you use alcohol and dont cook it, DO NOT serve this to children! It will still have alcohol content. #12plates #cakes Raven -

Tropical Cake with Pineapple & Coconut Tropical Cake with Pineapple & Coconut
I had some leftover pineapple, so I thought I'd use some to make a cake. I wanted to add a lot of pineapple to the batter, so I decided to use a pan that would allow me to bake a thin tart in order to bake it all the way through.I didn't want it to be too dry, so I added some almond flour to it.This is a cake that just requires mixing, so I think it's easy to make. If you can't get fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple.Chill it in the refrigerator, then cut. That way, you can cleanly cut it without worrying about it crumbling. Try to bring it back to room temperature before serving it, though. You'll be surprised by how it's so soft and moist! Recipe by Marimo1016 cookpad.japan -
