The Cake Slice bakers have the following recipes to bake for December 2016:
Coffee and Walnut Cake, Paul A. Young's Torta Gianduja,
Caribbean Coconut Cake with Rum, and Gingerbread
and
this is my adaptation of the
Caribbean Coconut Cake with Rum ~ pg 25
I dry pan fried the freshly grated coconut
into the dryness I desired
some of it went into the cake batter,
and used the final golden coconut gratings
(longer frying time) for the topping
At half the recipe (which I regret doing so)
there were six cupcakes! a mini loaf and a small round cake
not too shabby for half the recipe!
we were supposed to pipe thin criss-cross lines
with the icing... but I tried and the lines were not even
so I just spread the icing,
which has coconut cream, icing sugar and rum,
on the tops of the cakes
(for the cupcakes I dip the tops into the icing)
which help hold the coconut topping in place!
why is it that when I bake half a recipe, it turn out to be a super delish cake?
the crumb was tender and just moist enough.

Mmmm! Now I want to take a bite (or three!) You can always make the other half now!
Good to know that this is not a recipe to do half of. Love the golden coconut on the cupcakes!
That does sound delicious!
It looks good. I almost chose this one.
These sound so delicious and I am so glad someone made them!
They look so good and sound so delicious x
OK I'm sold! I will be baking this when I have some time to spare! Looks yummy, and I love coconut cake!
Hi Emily, I love coconut cake. These coconut cakes with rum icing are so yummy!
It sounds like a wonderful recipe and I like that you can do half if you want to. I am a big fan of coconut, so I am going to have to try this one.
