It’s supposed to look like that. This recipe makes a really runny batter. This is not a mistake. In fact, it’s part of what gives this cake its awesome texture.Make sure you use a full 10 x 15 pan. Trying to use a 9 x 13 won’t work. The cake will not cook properly.Baking Notes: It is important to cook this cake through all the way. A cake with this moist of a texture won’t stay together—or taste very good—undercooked. Cook the cake until the top has a nice golden color. The old toothpick method will help here as well. Just insert a toothpick into the very center of the cake. If it comes out completely clean, then your cake is cooked through.Coconut Sheet Cake RecipeThis coconut sheet cake recipe is a wonderful addition to every summer party, and my family just adores it.
