  • Half cup light coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat unsweetened shredded coconut

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SELF-RISING FLOUR:

  • Here, we will use self-rising flour in our cake, so it’s easy for you. You don’t need to gather individual ingredients for the cake. Your coconut cake will become fluffy from adding this flour as well. Mix all-purpose flour, salt, & baking powder for another idea.

GRANULATED SWEETENER:

  • This sweetener will help make your cake sweet without sugar. This will also keep you cake light because we are not using any sugar in it. Use stevia blend or monk fruit for this purpose.

UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE:

  • Your cake will not become dry if you use this in it. Unsweetened applesauce will help make your dessert moist as well. Also, this ingredient will not make your coconut cake heavy to eat. Add light sour cream or mash a banana for an alternative idea here.

FAT-FREE GREEK YOGURT:

  • You will feel that your cake has become richer from using it. Fat-free Greek yogurt is lighter for your recipe, and it will make your cake creamy as well. Use light vanilla Greek yogurt as another substitute for this.

EGGS:

  • We will use eggs because they will easily mix the components for your cake. Also, eggs will help make the shape of your dessert. If you need a substitute, try using two flax eggs as well.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Adding this vanilla extract to your cake recipe will give you a sweet flavor. Also, vanilla extract can make your desserts’ flavor better. Use coconut extract in this cake for an alternative if you prefer.

LIGHT COCONUT MILK:

  • Your cake will get softness from adding this milk. Also, we will use coconut milk because we are making a coconut cake. Use the light version of this milk so your recipe is not too heavy for you to eat. Other ideas for this can be skim milk or low-fat dairy milk.

REDUCED-FAT UNSWEETENED SHREDDED COCONUT:

  • Adding the shredded coconut to your recipe will give it a texture. Also, you will feel coconut bites in your cake from adding this. Use the unsweetened & reduced-fat shredded coconut in this recipe.

  4. Take the mix from the medium bowl and add it to the other one to combine the ingredients with care.
  5. Add this complete mixture to the cake pan and bake it for 32 minutes, checking it with a toothpick.
