Notes
- You can also add some food colouring to the cake batter for a nice vibrant colour.
- If you don't have coconut custard mix, you could substitute it with a can of sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
- For an extra creamy texture, try adding a few tablespoons of melted butter into the cake batter.
