If I am honest I chose todays cake more based on its shape than anything. The bunt cake makes me think of that great scene from My Fat Greek Wedding when the wasp brings the bunt cake.
My bunt tin is a small silicon one so I had left over batter which I put in the cup cake tin.
This cake is really lovely very moist and buttery, not very strong on the coconut flavour, I think this cake would keep well but not sure if we will find out think it will be eaten quickly. Next time I make this cake I think I will put chocolate icing on it.
