Karen, this looks good I will make this soon, but do I put the coconut in with the flour and soda and how much soda? as you seem to have omitted it in your ingredients.

Mmmmmmmmm... this recipe looks amazing! I can't inlcude the coconut due to allergies but I wonder if it would actually make much of a difference? I'll try it without the coconut and hopefully the results will be just as good ;-) Thank you for sharing.
