A brilliant cake. Always a favourite.
I use Coconut Cream instead of milk for more flavoursome topping

Love this recipe. Sometimes I add Brazil nuts and dried apricots as well. Yum!

This cake is incredible….we served with natural yoghurt, it was so good…Ill be making it again.

Love love this cake. I use it as a dessert as well, with whipped cream.

Deliciously moist and so tasty and the coconut topping compliments everything. Easy to make.
I will definitely bake this again - this recipe is a keeper.

Reduce sugar in cake by quarter to half a cup and it's suppurb
