Nutty Piñacoco cake

This SUPER EASY cake is delicious, even without the frosting! It does not have any oil so don’t add any as it does not needed *except for the frosting. If you do not have coconut or nuts for that matter, you can omit both, but this is the way i make it.

I use unsweetened coconut (i buy mine at a health food store) if you can only find the sweetened kind, decrease the sugar by at least 1/2 a cup. [I posted this recipe.]
