Coconut Sugee/Soogi Cake ./Coconut Semolina Cake

I love sugee cakes  just love the soft moist texture this cake has and so keep experimenting with it..We have been making this cake since many years still we love it each time we make..I have already posted two sugee cakes before and all three are entirely different the first one is mom's sooji /sugee next one is with sugee cake with almonds and this one is with coconut...Coconut, sugee are two ingredients which give this cake a lovely flavour and texture..its soft, buttery ,moist and very delish perfect as a tea cake too .I made this yesterday since I'm going to meet my dear cousins  today and they just love  homemasde cakes ..I baked two cakes one in 9 '' pan and one in the small loaf tin which I kept for home.
