INGREDENT
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, your choice)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
- Blend the wet ingredients:
In a blender, add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend for about 15–20 seconds until combined. - Add dry ingredients:
Add the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Blend again until smooth, about 30 seconds. - Stir in coconut:
Add the shredded coconut and pulse just a few times to mix — don’t overblend, you want some texture. - Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. - Cool and serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream.
