Funny that the coconut milk settled to the bottom, this didn't happen to our cake! We did get a nice crust from the desiccated coconut that I floured the pan with though. Coconut fudge does sound wonderful, so no harm done! -Anni. Shvetha - I’m happy your cake turned out wonderfully, I’ll have to try making this without the fruit also.

Coconut fudge does sound wonderful, so no harm done!

The coconut milk settled to the bottom but created a lovely fudge-like layer! This recipe is definitely a keeper, thanks so much for sharing.

They didn't add very much flavor, just moistness, and I think apples or pears or even pineapple could be nice with coconut.

I suppose any fruit can be substituted for the apricots, as the tinned apricots here are not very tasty. Or I can wait until summer (which seems like it will never come!) and use fresh apricots.

Only now did I realize how most of the taste of Grand Marnier actually comes from oranges! So I think that a little grated orange zest, and maybe a little lemon zest as well, would be a perfect substitution for the liqueur. Not too much, maybe half a teaspoon or less of each. -Anni.

Whenever I hear apricots I think of summer. This looks like a great cake for surprise visitors. What would you recommend as a substitution for the Grand Marnier? Yummy!
