Putting the coconut sugar cake on a banana leaf to set is a custom in the Caribbean. Also, you can leave them to set in a greased baking pan or dish, or on a greased wax paper.
Make sure there are no liquid remaining in the coconut sugar cake. It will not set.
Add more sugar if your coconut is not forming or holding together.
