Oh, I thought the problem was only having access to coconut oil? (I managed to get a tub of solid coconut oil at the market for the purposes of making curries, and I thought of you and wondered if I should try making a coconut-flavoured mug cake :-D)
I only had a teaspoon of butter left (I last got some before Christmas) so I made a coconut-chocolate-peanut-butter mug cake.
Combining the butter and coconut was probably not that good an idea, as they clearly have very different melting points, and I also think I may have overcooked it, thanks to the new microwave -- the result was almost crunchy, with bubbling peanut butter in the middle. (It's a bad sign when you can hear saliva boiling away on your tongue when you put food in your mouth... one generally associated with molten sugar!)
But it certainly wasn't unpleasant in flavour. I can't say that it tasted discernably of coconut, mind you...

If you like coconut, go for it. It works fine as a cooking oil; I just don't like how it tastes.
