🛒 Ingredients
🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    Melt the butter in the microwave or in a double boiler and let it cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture whitens and becomes light and frothy.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, baking powder and salt, then gently incorporate the coconut milk and warm melted butter. Mix until you get a homogeneous batter without lumps.

  4. 4

    Add the shredded coconut and, if desired, the sweetened condensed milk to enhance the moistness and richness.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into a cake pan previously buttered and floured, or lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Bake at 180°C (convection) for 35 to 40 minutes. The cake is cooked when golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Let the cake cool slightly before unmolding. Generously sprinkle with shredded coconut for an appetizing finish.

Tips & Tricks
  • For softer coconut: soak shredded coconut in coconut milk for 10 minutes before incorporating.
  • Lighter variation: replace coconut milk with plain yogurt for an airier version.
  • For caramelized crust: sprinkle brown sugar on top before baking.
  • Storage: 3-4 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
Enjoy your meal!
