Why measuring shredded coconut (sweetened) by cup goes wrong
Sweetened shredded coconut (the standard bag in American grocery stores) weighs about 93 grams per cup. Unsweetened desiccated coconut, which is drier and finer, weighs roughly 80 g/cup and absorbs more liquid in baking.
Practical tips for working with shredded coconut (sweetened)
For toasted coconut, spread on a sheet pan and bake at 325 °F, stirring every 3 minutes, for about 8 minutes total. The edges go from white to honey gold; the center stays paler. Watch it closely toward the end — coconut goes from underdone to burnt in about 90 seconds and there is no rescuing it once it's brown.
Note from this ingredient's record: Unsweetened desiccated coconut is heavier per cup (about 80 g) and absorbs more liquid.
