COCONUT COCONUT MILK CAKE
This is a super moist and tasty coconut cake. Growing up in Brazil, this was a favorite amongst our circle of friends. It is especially good with a cup of coffee on the side. I've converted a few of my anti-coconut family and friends into lovers of this cake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
- Beat sugar, butter, and egg yolks together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add shredded coconut.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir creamed butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk, into flour mixture until batter is just mixed.
- Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold egg whites into batter. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

COCONUT POUND CAKE (USING COCONUT MILK)
I was looking online for a coconut pound cake that used coconut milk and came across one that was similar to the one that I wanted. However, I made quite a few changes and I believe that it has been perfected :-) This pound cake has a wonderfully rich coconut flavor b/c it uses coconut milk. The coconut milk and coconut are both un-sweetened, so you may add a little more sugar if you'd like, but this recipe is great even if you don't have a "sweet tooth". ADDITIONAL NOTES: After readin some of the reviews, I tried this same recipe and added a "Brown suger Toasted Coconut Glaze". It makes it even better. See below

MUNG BEAN CAKE WITH COCONUT MILK
I found this recipe years ago, but don't remember where. I have made it a few times to accompany an Asian meal, and it has always been well-received. Don't let the shallots scare you off. They are quite sweet tasting when browned, like caramelized onions. Mung beans can be found in Asian markets, or Asian sections of larger supermarkets. This is a very dense, moist cake.

- 3. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square cake pan (use metal or make sure glass pan is heat-tempered glass, since you will be putting hot pan in cold water later).
- 4. Pour mixture into prepared cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Raise heat to 450°F and bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until cake turns a deep amber.
- 5. Remove from oven and immediately immerse pan in 1/2 inch cold water for 10 minutes. Change water to ensure it stays cold and leave pan another 15 minutes.
- 6. In a small pan, heat oil and sauté the shallots until light brown. Drain off the oil and spread the shallots over the top of the cake. Cut into 9 squares. Serve warm or cold.
- 7. Bean cake will keep 1 week in refrigerator.
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk gives the cake a richer flavor and a more tender texture. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but make sure to use full-fat coconut milk.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: Baking the cake at a moderate temperature (350°F) helps to prevent the cake from browning too quickly and becoming dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
