Thanks!

I made it for a party today and it was a great success. As I
mentioned, I could only find coconut 'milk' so I used two
cans. When I scooped out the settled coconut, I just mixed
enough of the watery milk to render it to a cream like
consistency. It worked.

Nice recipe, the cake had a pleasant texture and the coconut
flavour was perfect.
