If you choose to use coconut milk (canned) it does not change the flavor. It does not leave any coconut notes at all. I strained the coconut milk first before using. :)

The almond extract really makes this cake recipe perfect...oddly enough, I was just looking at a recipe on my opened cookbook that sits a top of my dresser in the kitchen (it houses napkins and linens) and I proudly keep my old family' cookbook opened and change the page shown every few days...it had a recipe for a delicate chocolate cake...I now can have one for a delicate white cake thanks to you.... thanks for sharing!

It was easy to make and delicious! I added strawberry frosting made with crushed fresh strawberries, confectioners sugar, and a little soft butter. The strawberry was a great compliment for the almond flavoring. Yum!
