Coconut sponge

I have been asked to make a coconut sponge cake – does anyone have a good recipe that tastes good but is strong enough to be carved without being coarse??

Hi hjhyde,

I usually use the same sponge recipe as i would for vanilla, which is a basic ‘all in the one bowl’ style recipe, not complicated at all. But i substitute a third of the oil for some coconut milk then add a few teaspoons of coconut extract which i got from my local health food store, and the local deli also sells it.
