Do not mix the batter for too long in any case, but only briefly until it reaches a homogeneous consistency.
Be sure to thoroughly grease and flour the baking pan so that the cake can be removed from the pan after baking.
Do not bake the vegan coconut cake for too long. To check if it is done baking, do a chopstick test.
