Notes
Leave out the shredded coconut and replace the coconut extract with vanilla extract for a plain vanilla cake.
Some of the powdered sweetener can be replaced with an unflavored protein powder to reduce sweetness.
For a 9-inch round single layer cake, double the recipe and increase baking time until the cake tests done.
