TO MAKE THE COCONUT CAKE:
-
Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease a 30 x 20 cm (12 x 8 inch) sheet pan.
-
Sieve the cake flour into a mixing bowl, then stir in the coconut flour, desiccated coconut, sugar, baking powder and salt.
-
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients and then stir them into the dry ingredients, make sure to incorporate all the dry ingredients off the bottom of the bowl - it will be quite dense but not dry.
-
Pour the cake mixture into the sheet pan and spread out evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes until a tester stick comes out clean.
-
Allow to cool completely before icing the cake in the sheet pan, then cut the cake into squares and serve.
