How To Make Ultimate Coconut Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
- 2 eggs room temperature
- ½ cup milk, or more as needed
- ¼ cup simple syrup, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, and make it easy to remove once it's done baking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut and sugar. Sift in the flour, and whisk again to combine.
- Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, and then pour them into the well.
- Add enough milk to reach a slightly thickened but runny texture. Whisk everything together to create the batter. Then pour it into the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it's golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes. Then pour the simple syrup over the cake before serving.
