EASY COCONUT SHEET CAKE
This is my go-to coconut sheet cake when I am entertaining a lot of people or I need to bring something for a potluck. It is made with buttermilk which makes it super moist and delicious and it is very easy to make. Depending on what I am making it for, I either cut it into little square bites or regular-sized coconut cake pieces.

CIN'S "EASY COCONUT CAKE"
My Hubby loves anything with coconut on or in it. I concocted this for him one day years ago. Turned out to be delish!!! The whole family loves this one. The coconut cream pie filling just make it (you can make your own and cool it down, or use a good brand Canned Cream of Coconut Pie Filling). Remember, you can make this in a 9x13 or 2 rounds. For this one I did not toast the coconut...it is great either way.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh coconut milk, eggs, and butter will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl: This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Use a toothpick to test the cake for doneness: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
