Yol's Moist Coconut Cake

I love coconut but coconut cake recipes often seem dry to me. This one is moist and really is very nice. (It freezes well too).

You will need:

3oz Desiccated Coconut
1/4 Pint Milk
7oz Butter
7oz Sugar
7oz Plain Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Vanilla Essence
2 Eggs

Soak coconut in the milk for an hour or so. Cream butter and sugar, add beaten eggs and vanilla essence, beat well. Gradually add coconut mix. Stir baking powder into flour and add to mixture. Mix well. Put into a 7" lined cake tin and bake (gas mark4, 350F, 180C) for about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a skewer comes out clean.

Enjoy!
