A moist coconut cake is the perfect teatime treat.

There are few things more frustrating when baking a cake than taking it out of the oven only to find it dry, heavy or crumbly.

This coconut cake recipe takes a simpler approach, using plain yoghurt and oil to help create a tender cake without complicated techniques.

The batter comes together quickly, with the wet ingredients blended before being combined with flour, desiccated coconut and baking powder.

Once baked, a simple sugar syrup is poured over the warm cake, giving it extra moisture and sweetness.
