This Gooseberry Coconut Cake recipe is a deliciously moist cake which combines two fab flavors – gooseberry and coconut! I love to make this cake when I’m going to visit friends or family. It always goes down a treat! It’s a good cake to bake the day before too because it keeps well in an airtight container. 

This cake is super simple to make too. Simply mix all the ingredients together to make a smooth batter. Transfer the batter to a baking pan and press the gooseberries into the top. Bake for an hour and then add a coconut sugar topping to the cake and bake for a further 20 minutes. Then, enjoy!

It's hard enough to follow British recipes, but when you mix in some American measurements, it's almost impossible!
