yummy moist and spongy cake.
Yummy cake…Luks stunning..
Wow I wish I could join you not only for baking but eat this cake.
yum cake. looks so delicious
I am loving that white coconut glaze and that puffed up top (seriously egg-less??)
My first experience with eggless baking was very bad; the cake sank in the middle and it was horribly textured, and then I never got the courage to lift up. But after looking at your cakes, I’m again motivated; will post something really soon. 🙂

Looks very good Gayathri. I made a vegan version which I shall post in a few hours. Mine didn’t brown at all – was white as coconut itself!! I wonder what made the difference 🙂
Hi
What did you use for the vegan version?
Thanks
You can substitute Milk with soy milk, and butter with vanaspathi or shortening. For curd try mixing vinegar and soy milk. Hope this helps..
what is shortening?
Shortening is vegetable fat, it is what we get as vanaspathi/ dalda in India.
looks so yum n feeling hungry……loved it….

Can I use frozen coconut for this recipe? Also, for about 70 people (small slices), should I double or triple the recipe.
Thanks
Marie
Hi Marie, This cake will serve about 24, so you need to triple the recipe. And yes you can use frozen coconut.
Hi Gayathri
I made this cake, it was great. Thank you for the recipe and the info. I tripled the recipe and used frozen coconut. It was a bit crumbly, I don’t know why.
Tks Marie
Which flour for this recipe?
thanks
It is maida..
Mam, do u recommend this coconut cake under fondant??
Yes you can use it Bindu. It is quite sturdy.
hi..the cake looks so soft.. i wanted to try this recipe..pls can u tell if i can replace fresh coconut with desiccated and oil
instead of butter will oil change the texture. thanks
You can use desiccated coconut, but using oil instead of butter will affect the texture.
Hi…what’s the size of the cake tin you have used? Will a round 8 inch cake pan do??
Yes, you can use..
Want to try this cake but how can I achieve the curd without soy milk? is there another non vegan substitute I can use??
Add a tsp of vinegar to soy milk, instead of using curd..
Hi Gayatri…
I had lots of fresh coconut and so was looking for some recipe and when googled found yours as the first and best recipe!! And i tried it immediately and I must tell the cake was super moist fluffy and yummy which vanished in no time!!
Thank you so much!!
Shree
That is great Shridevi. So glad it turned out good..
Hi Gayathri,
whenever i need an eggless recipe, i almost always come to ur blog for them!! such simple yet yummy recipes and that always work!! thanks a bunch for sharing.. u hav a big heart!! i have a question. am looking for coconut + pineapple flavoured cupcakes.. can i use this recipe and add chunks of pineapple in and make as cupcakes? also, can i replace milk with coconut milk for a more coconutty flavour? thanks in advance!
Thank you so much Pavithra. For the flavour you need, you can do what you have planned. For the chunks, use either tinned pineapple or cook the pineapple in sugar syrup, drain and then add. They say that fresh pineapple turns bitter in cakes.
Hi Gayathri, I’m a big fan of yours . Kudos for sharing all these brilliant recipes.
I need to make coconut cupcakes, is this recipe suitable. Also what would be the yield. Can we also halve it?
Thank you. You can use this for cupcakes too. I am not sure about the quantity you get from this though.
What is curd?
It is yogurt.
can i use coconut milk instead of milk here?
Yes, you can
Hi Gayathri.. Can we omit grated coconut in the recipe.?. I just want to use coconut milk instead of milk….
Yes, you can do that Shweta.
Tried it without the frosting twice, texture was spot on.
First time I used freshly grated coconut, second time dessicated coconut powder. I didn’t really get much flavouring though!
Hello Gayathri,
Can we substitute maida with wheat flour? If yes, Wats the measurement? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can sub wheat flour for maida. Use 2 tbs lesser.
Hi Gayathri…..i would love to try this recipe , but can we use dessicated coconut instead of fresh grated coconut ?
Yes, you can use desiccated coconut. Use only 1/2 cup of coconut.
