Leave to cool, don't take out your cake till it has cooled down or it may fall apart.
Once cooled make the icing.
Add powdered sugar to a little water and vanilla essence, only add very little water at a time as it doesn't take much water to make icing.

That was a beautiful cake dear......looks yummmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for stopping by my space dearie :-)Take care.
wow, this is nice.. and fat free too! have to try it out in my new oven :)
as far as the fish recipe goes - you can try the same recipe with sardines.. banana leaves give the fish the right flavor.. i dont know what else would substitute it.. another option would be to use sardines and grill it, using the same recipe for paste.. try that and let me know how it went :)
Hi Sirisha Kilambi thanks for visiting my blog :)

Hey Jeena,
I am back after a long time. Nice recipes here.
Yummy cake. I love anything with coconut in it.
Hey Jeena,
I guess this isn't exactly fat free. Egg Yolks and coconut have fat in them. I read some recipes that use applesauce instead of butter to make them fat free. Never tried though.
Looks yummy Jeena. Tempting photos. Viji
Love your sponge cake. I prefer to have fat free. I will try this sometime.
As usual Excellent pictures.
Hi Mansi Desai I sure will edit your link :) Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Mona thanks for visiting my blog I will stop by yours too. :)
Hi Manjula glad to see you back blogging again. :) I don't consider an egg or a coconut to be 'a fat' even though they have oils in them. I guess to some people "butter free" would be more correct. I never heard of using apple sauce instead maybe it would be nice for an apple cake. :)
Hey Viji thanks for stopping by it was yummy too! :)
Hi Seec I'm glad you like the pictures :) Give it a go and let me know how it went? :)
the cake looks awesome!!
Hey Jeena. your cake looks yummy. I might sound dumb - infact, i am dumb to ask this, but am a new baker, n I fail to u'stand how can 5 tbspn of flour make a cake?? Isint that too small an amount to make a cake?? Pls pardon my ignorance.
how can i make this cake without eggs?
Hi anonymous, this recipe can not be made with out eggs. But I have lots of delicious sweet and cake recipes that use no eggs at all, just check out my recipes catogories.
Hi Jeena,
I was wondering if or how I could make this gluten free. We have made your mango coconut cake and loved it. This one looks so delicious we want to make it as well. Thanks.
Hi Zea, I will have a look at this recipe and get back to you about it today.
I am glad you enjoyed my mango and coconut cake. :-)
Do come back as I have gluten free garibaldi biscuits, jam tarts, coconut rose tarts and crunchy biscuits coming up real soon.
Thanks for visiting my food recipe blog. :-)
Wonderful...taste great, well done! cheers
