I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly.

The cake didn't rise as much as I expected, but it still tasted good.

I didn't have any coconut extract, so I used vanilla extract instead. The cake still tasted great.

The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe by half. It was perfect!

I added a cup of chopped walnuts to the batter for a little extra crunch. It was a great addition!
