 Ingredients

Here’s everything you need for this fluffy coconut cake:

  • 3 large eggs

  • 300 ml whole milk

  • 2 tablespoons softened butter or margarine

  • 1½ cups granulated sugar

  • A pinch of salt

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup cornstarch (Maizena)

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (optional, for lighter texture)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but enhances aroma)

  • 100g shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

 Directions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or bundt cake pan, then lightly dust it with flour or shredded coconut to prevent sticking. This helps with easy removal and adds a nice texture to the crust.

Step 2: Blend the Wet Ingredients

In a high-speed blender, combine:

  • Eggs

  • Milk

  • Butter or margarine

  • Sugar

  • Vanilla extract

Blend on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy—about 30 seconds.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Open the lid and add:

  • Flour

  • Cornstarch

  • Salt

  • Baking powder (optional)

Blend again just until all ingredients are well combined. Avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 4: Add Shredded Coconut

Manually fold in the shredded coconut using a spatula or wooden spoon. This ensures even distribution and prevents it from settling at the bottom during baking.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

  • Bake for 35–45 minutes, depending on your oven and pan size.

  • The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack.

 Tips & Variations

 Flavor Boosts

  • Use coconut milk: Swap 150 ml of regular milk with full-fat coconut milk for extra tropical flavor.

  • Add citrus: A teaspoon of lemon zest or lime zest gives a refreshing twist.

  • Extra richness: Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream or plain yogurt to the batter.

 Texture Ideas

  • Crunchy top: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top before baking.

  • Mix-ins: Fold in white chocolate chips, chopped macadamia nuts, or crushed pineapple.

  • Make it a layer cake: Double the ingredients and bake in two pans. Frost with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting.

 Vegan & Gluten-Free Version

  • Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water per egg).

  • Use almond milk or oat milk.

  • Choose vegan margarine or coconut oil.

  • Replace regular flour with a gluten-free blend and add 1 tsp xanthan gum.

 Storage

  • Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.

  • Refrigerator: Keeps well for 5 days if tightly sealed.

  • Freezer: Freeze slices in plastic wrap + foil for up to 2 months.

To serve, thaw slices at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
