Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Cake pan
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk until evenly distributed.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then stir in the vegetable oil, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the cake is still warm, poke holes in the surface with a fork and pour the condensed milk over the top. Sprinkle grated coconut on top and let it cool before slicing.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute condensed milk with coconut cream mixed with honey. Toasting the grated coconut adds a nutty flavor and crunchy texture. To prolong shelf life, store in an airtight container and refrigerate after two days. The cake can be frozen for up to three months; just remember to thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
