This week's Tuesdays with Dorie post was chosen by Carmen of Carmen Cooks. She chose the Coconut Tea Cake. It is described as a plain cake, but I disagree. Sure, there's no filling or icing, but there is so much flavor we ate most of it in one sitting! I had a little helper, who hasn't baked much before, so some things went wrong.... but everything worked in the end! The batter was pretty quick to make, even though it dirtied up tons of dishes. The long baking time was the only thing I didn't like about this recipe, because it smells so good in the oven!
Most of the comments I got were just "Oh yum.....", but one person said that they have tried making coconut cakes in the past but have never gotten so much flavor through. I think the secret to this recipe is using both the shredded coconut and a large amount of coconut milk.
We loved this cake too! It really was packed with coconut flavour. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hear you and I am heading to the kitchen now to make this cake. Just couldn't find the time before today. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you enjoyed this cake! I made the mocha bundt this week because I didn't have any coconut milk, but I'm excited to try this!
