- Grease your cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
- For extra flavor, you can toast the dried coconut meat lightly in a pan before mixing it into the batter.
- If you prefer a richer taste, you can use full-fat milk instead of 1% fat milk.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
