The most general recipe of this dessert is a mixture of all-purpose flour, coconut milk, and shredded coconut, which gives a soft and delicate texture with the richness of coconut flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F or 175 C.
  • While the oven is setting, grease the inside of the 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or oil.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut mixed with 1 1/2 cups sugar in a big bowl using a whisk.
  • The coconut gives the cake a tropical flavour, while the sugar just adds enough sweetness.
  • This mixture forms the base that brings in that luscious flavour that is so hard to resist.
  • Sift in 2 cups of all-purpose flour into the coconut sugar mixture.
  • Whisk everything together until it combines well.
  • If the mix appears dry, make a well in the centre of this flour-coconut mixture.
  • Now, add wet ingredients to your dry ingredients to ensure the removal of all lumps.
  • Use a whisk to beat three large eggs in a small bowl until they are free from lumps and creamy.
  • Pour the whisked eggs into the well you just created in the dry mixture.
  • Add 1 cup of milk to the eggs. Start by adding milk slowly, and finally, whisk it in.
  • The batter should be slightly thickened but not too dense.
  • Once all of the ingredients are combined, the batter will be smooth and silky.
  • When the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, spread it evenly, ensuring it fills out the pan to the edges.
  • This should be spread quickly and softly as the batter is smooth.
  • Put the pan into a preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • The cake must be well golden on top, and on being pierced by a toothpick at the centre, it should come clean.
  • If the cake passes the test, take it out of the oven. Once done, let it cool in that pan for almost 20 minutes.
  • During the cooling time, you can prepare a simple syrup that can be poured on top of it to add moisture and a flavour boost to your cake.
  • To make the syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water into a saucepan, then bring to a boil until the sugar dissolves.
  • Let it cool slightly, and pour it over the warm cake. It's going to absorb the syrup pretty well, so it'll be moist and flavourful.
  • Once the cake has cooled and absorbed the syrup, cut the cake into squares or rectangles and serve.
  • Now, the recipe of coconut cake is ready!
