LEMON-COCONUT CAKE

Friday night I had some friends over for a burger-themed dinner. We bought some veggie burgers, and I made some pressure-cooked baked beans and potato salad. I planned on putting the bean recipe on my blog, but they didn’t turn out the way I wanted them to. The big hit of the evening was the lemon-coconut cake I made for dessert. I stole this recipe from my friend Julia’s blog and she stole it from Vegenomicon. The coconut milk makes the cake so moist and yummy. The recipe calls for a Bundt pan, but Julia used a 9x13 rectangular pan, and I used a taller 9x9 square pan. All seem to work fine. I topped the cake off with lemon icing.

The cake recipe is here.
