About Coconut Sugar Cake

Freda Gore's Dominica coconut tablet, also called sugar cake, is a sweet coconut confection. Its character comes from grated coconut and a concentrated sugar mixture.

Vanilla extract, cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg give the tablet a spiced aroma. Coconut supplies a fibrous texture within the firm, sweet portions.

Small, spooned portions give the tablet its casual presentation. Each cooled sweet brings the coconut and warming spice flavours together in a compact piece.
