This is in U.S. measurements. I'm not sure how unsweetened coconut will transfer but you'll definitely want some more sugar in the topping. You can make your own buttermilk.

I replaced the whole milk with coconut milk (as suggested by another reader to make it dairy free). It was really moist and yummy! I totally forgot to add the zest to the batter so I ended up adding 2 and 1/2 tbsp to the icing. It was really pretty! I ended up poking little holes in the cake with a toothpick (once again as suggested by another viewer). I burned the coconut a little the first time I tried to toast it (luckily I had extra), so the second time I turned the temperature down to 325 and stirred it every two minutes. Deb, I can always rely on you for amazing recipes! Every recipe I have used off your website has always been delicious. Thanks from me and also my friends and family, who get to eat these awesome treats! So good! I replaced the whole milk with coconut milk (as suggested by another reader to make it dairy free).

Can you help with the glaze? Mine ran A LOT and almost half of it ended up on the pan under the cooling rack. Yes, of course we scraped it all up and ate it anyway, but I'd love for it to stay on the cake...like yours! Any tips? Thanks! Luh-uve your site. Hi Deb – thanks for this – loved it!

However, my glaze for the top didn't turn out an opaque white like the photos above (it was more like a sugar water.) did i do something wrong?

Likely around 10 minutes. Shorter baking time, but you’ll just have to watch your oven on the first batch to see how long they bake. Likely around 10 minutes.
