I've been on a kick recently to try new foods and new recipes, and then I
decided that I might as well also try some things that I didn't like but haven't eaten for a long time. Just to see if my taste has changed. It's a pretty short list. Coconut is pretty much it, that I could think of. So I bought a fresh coconut. Both hubby and I agree that the taste is okay, but neither of us like the texture. For me, it's a change. I didn't like taste or texture before, or maybe I just couldn't separate them. So now that I have the thing, I want to use it. I've found recipes for shredding the coconut and extracting the juice, which seems like a good idea since it avoids the texture issue. But what do I do with that juice and the stuff I drained? I don't want to do a curry. Not that I have anything against curries, but since I may never bother with a fresh coconut again, I'd like to make something that really features the coconut flavor, so I can really decide whether I actually like it or I just don't hate it. I was thinking maybe a coconut pound cake or something like it would be good. I've googled recipes, but they all either include shredded coconut or artificial coconut flavoring. So...anybody got any good tried-and-true recipes? It doesn't have to be a pound cake, but some kind of cake would be ideal, because I can send it to work with hubby if we don't like it.
