12 Months 12 Cakes: Coconut Disaster
This year I have been trying to make a new cake every month. With different results.
To be honest, my last try was a disaster. Here is a note on the unsuccessful attempt.
I had wanted to make a coconut cake for some time and finally I found that recipe for coconut pound loaf cake. Everything was OK till the baking time. To my disappointment, the temperature (300 F) given in the recipe was too low. I baked the bread for 1 hour and 15 minutes, according to the instructions. When I checked it, the cake was totally undone. I added 15 minutes more but later, the cake was still not ready.
All in all, the baking time took approximately 2 hours. However, opening the oven again and again totally spoilt the cake. Although it looked good from the outside, the inside was not eatable at all. I had to throw it away. What a waste of all the ingredients!
If the oven temperature had been higher (350F), it might have been a good and tasty coconut bread.
Anyway, I do not think I will use the recipe again.
