1/2cupcoconut oilcan substitute with oil of your choice
1 1/4 cupunsweetened applesauce
1cupcoconut milkcan substitute with milk of your choice

1cancoconut creamchilled for at least 8 hours
optional sweetener to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°
Grease or line your cake pan(s)
Pour all ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly. The batter will be thick but shouldn't be lumpy.
Pour the batter into your cake pan(s). You may need to adjust your cook time if changing the size of the pan from a 10" round cake pan.
Bake your cake for about 25 minutes or until cooked thoroughly. You can check the cake by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it is done.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool.
You can cut and stack your cake as desired and add any toppings or frosting that you'd like.
Optional Coconut Cream Frosting
Put one can of coconut cream in the refrigerator overnight. You can leave it longer, but make sure it is in for at least 8 hours to harden.
Remove only the solid cream from the can leaving the excess liquid at the bottom.
Use a hand or stand mixer to whip the cream into peaks resembling whipped cream.
Mix in sweetener if desired. I used about 1/2 tsp of pure maple syrup to sweeten mine just a bit.
Store frosting in the refrigerator until ready to use.
