  1. Do you think you could make this with less icing sugar? I dont think I have 4 cups in the cupboard, and 4 cups seems like a lot of icing sugar right?

    1. It is alright if you use less sugar, when i cooked this, i didn't use much sugar bcs i don't really like sweet.. 4 cups only if you like sweet, the coconut cake taste a little salty so pour a bit icing sugar for topping..
