Apple Coconut Cake (Gf, Cf, Vegan)

Apple Coconut Cake (Gf, Cf, Vegan) Recipe

When I was doing the baking for the Autism gala back in October, I also wanted to give something to the coordinator of the event who has asked me each year to donate! I adapted this apple and coconut cake from glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2010/09/coconut-flour-apple-cake.html to use up the GFCF starches and flours I had and the outcome was decadent!
