Notes
You can also use store bought self raising wholemeal or plain flour, skip the baking soda and powder

Ensure to have butter at room temperature, it should not be hard

Oven temperatures can vary, mine took about 10½ mins to bake in total

If using coconut essence use the real organic stuff, do not use artificial or chemically synthesized essence
