I had a friend pop over this morning to try out the cake and she agreed it was delicious. We ate about a 1/4 of it, just to make sure it was still OK Then tonight I tried turning the mix into truffles or something and it was a disaster. At first, we thought it was the honey was too strong, so I added a pinch of salt and a heap of lemon juice. I added so much desiccated coconut to dry it up. It was tasting ok-ish but there was still something wrong. I think it was the coconut flour - the texture was all weird. So I chucked it all out.

The cream cheese icing was delicious though. I feel sad about wasting that. And the rest of the stuff I added to try to save it. But I will chalk it up to a learning experience. I should have chucked it out when the cake turned out bad, rather than trying to chase my losses.
