Coconut Cake – A Breadmaker Cake Recipe

You may wonder why you would make a cake in your bread maker, when you can just as easily bake it in an oven. I often wondered this, and so I decided to test it out by using the ‘bake’ feature on my bread machine. Most bread makers will have a ‘bake’ feature, which is essentially where you mix the ingredients by hand prior to putting them in the bread pan. You can then manually set the program for your desired length of time.

On the Panasonic SD2511 it is menu button ’18.’ Check with your user manual to make sure you use the correct button.

I love baking with coconut, desiccated coconut is a really useful ingredient to keep in the cupboard to add to both sweet and savoury dishes.
