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).
