Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 sticks melted butter (1 cup, slightly cooled)
  • 2 cups all-purpose wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 100 g grated coconut

Equipment

  • Blender or electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Spatula
  • Toothpick or skewer

Method
 

  1. Blend the eggs, whole milk, coconut milk, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
  2. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the blender on low speed and mix until just combined, then fold in grated coconut.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While the cake bakes, whisk together condensed milk, coconut milk, and whole milk for the syrup.
  7. Poke holes all over the hot cake, then pour the syrup evenly over it while it's still warm.
  8. Sprinkle the top with grated coconut and let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal).

Notes

For best results, use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture. Make sure to poke plenty of holes in the cake to allow the syrup to soak in deeply. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours, but overnight for the best results. For extra flavor, consider adding some rum to the syrup or toasting the grated coconut before sprinkling on top. Enjoy your tropical treat!
