    Wow Christy...!!

    On one of dh's birthdays when I was pregnant, I tried to make a mud cake, and it sunk in the middle, and I tried to fill it with icing...and then over-decorated it and it looked awful...and being pregnant, I cried for about an hour...I was inconsolable, dh ate so much of that horrible cake to try and convince me he liked it. :P

    Which has nothing to do with coconut cream. Sorry.

    Yeah, I'm a cake messer-with too. I substituted coconut cream for coconut milk in a cake, just added a little milk (ETA: cows milk, that is) until the texture of the batter seemed OK - it turned out fine (it was a sticky coconut, lime and pineapple cake, so not as temperamental as a sponge).

    You'll be fine - if it's a SC recipe the cream would actually be better than the milk - a slightly more concentrated flavour and thicker texture for less liquid!
