In the instructions it says:
Combine coconut and milk* in bowl leave to soak for 1 hour
Cream butter, sugar and orange rind until fluffy
Add eggs, flour, extra milk beat together**, add coconut mixture


* first lot of milk - combine with coconut
** extra lot of milk - beat eggs, flour & extra milk together
