Anyone tried this? Got any suggestions? I'm planning to make it for our cluster meeting on Monday.

TIA!
 
I made it for my cluster meeting last month! Everyone loved it! It was very easy to make too! I made mine sugar free even and it was a big hit! I would make it again, but I am on a doctor restricted diet :(

Where do you find that?
 
In my local grocery store, it is with the ethnic food - with the Thai stuff. Keep in mind, coconut milk is not milk---it will be a funky mess when you open it. You just need to stir it well before mixing it in the cake.

Too funny! Is it similar to a "hot mess"? :D

Very similar....
 
I don't have any of the PC cookware (yet). Any chance this would work in the deep dish baker?
 
Probably - try it and let us know!
 
I think it would work, but don't know if you would be able to turn the cake out as easily as in the nonstick.

It depends on how "seasoned" the stone is! :)
