I'm allergic to nuts so I had to substitute the coconut with another ingredient. The cake still turned out great!

I had some trouble getting the frosting smooth. I think I might have over-mixed it.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
