- Spread cake batter into an even layer in greased baking pan.

Notes
- To achieve a whiter cake, use white sugar. For Paleo, use coconut sugar.
- Use coconut milk from a carton. Canned coconut milk will be too creamy for this cake.
- See my recipe for Vegan Vanilla frosting.
- The cake batter is slightly thicker than traditional cake batter. See photos above for texture.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do not over bake!
- Cool cake FULLY before frosting! Trying to frost a warm cake will lead to melted frosting.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Nutritional values are calculated without frosting.
