  1. i just made the coconut topping, and i cooked it until it was frosting like a stew and it was delicious! non-vegans enjoyed
     
  2. The "bake 20 to 22" instruction is misleading as all ovens are not created equal. In my case, after 22 minutes, the batter was still quite liquid. The pooring of the coconot topping over it created a bubbly, ugly mess. Instead of "bake 20 to 22 minutes", I would suggest baking for "about 22 minutes or at least until the top of the cake is bouncy to the touch". Nevertheless, the cake tasted very good and my husband's colleagues raved about it. (I had to make another cake for my guests, as this one looked unpresentable...) I will try it again, for sure.
     
  3. Excellent cake! The coconut mixture really makes a tasty topping... I like that the cake was airy, and not as dense as many egg-free cakes tend to be. This is definitely a keeper!
