Welcome Ruby!
Your name reminds me of a old time Hubber who is no longer with us - Mrs Soma.

Anyway, mum used to make sujee cake with coconut milk and it was so yummy that we would write our names on our shares
It tastes better with age but cannot last longer than 10 days. Will try to get the recipe from her.

Come october and my sister Mrs.Soma's annivarsary brings back very fond memories.
She was such a noble soul that it is difficult to get such people nowadays.
May her soul rest in peace.
