Eggless coconut cake recipe

Sure! Here's a recipe for eggless coconut cake:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup desiccated coconut

- 1 cup coconut milk

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (as an egg substitute)

For the frosting:

- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

- 2 tablespoons coconut milk

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Additional desiccated coconut for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, desiccated coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In another bowl, combine the coconut milk, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and the cornstarch mixture. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in a dense cake.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

9. Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle desiccated coconut on top for garnish.

10. Slice and serve the eggless coconut cake. Enjoy!

Note: You can also add additional coconut flavor by brushing the cooled cake layers with coconut syrup before frosting. To make the coconut syrup, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool before brushing it onto the cake layers.
