What can replace the coconut milk? I do have sweet condensed milk and fat free evaporated milk or 1% milk (can I puree coconut shreds with 1% milk? Live in the country...also i have the coconut rum, if that helps my replacement for coconut milk.

Good recipe. I used freshly shreaded coconut meat,made my own coconut milk and used a light olive oil.I also used fresh pineapple. If you use extra virgin olive oil the taste changes,be wary.I used regular butter. I don't always use unsalted butter. Sometimes the salted butter adds a better dimention to the recipe.I topped the finished cake with homemade whipped cream that I had added freshly minced and drained pinapple . This Betty Crocker community is very informative.I have apreciated all of the reviews for my cooking. Each comment and each recipe I view as a great learning tool.

Great cake! It taste great and just the right amount of moisture. I used vegetable oil in place of the olive oil. **Coconut milk can be found in the International Food isle.**
