  2. I tried this recipe today. I used 7 cups of flour total (3 1/2 cups per pound each of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour per conversion). Once I added all the ingredients together it never did "mix" into a batter. It was very dry and now that I've baked it, it has come out as more of a coconut crumble than a cake. Has anyone else tried this recipe and had a similiar disaster? My husband is being a sweetheart and eating several pieces of it but I think it is unedible. Suggestions?
