Instructions

For the cake

  • In a big bowl, add all the flour (sift before)
  • Add all the liquid ingredients you just mixed. Mix it with a spoon or whisker, by hand. Do not use the mixer here.
  • Add the shredded coconut. Mix it well by hand. Lastly, add the baking power and mix it.
  • In a baking tray, add some cooking spray or a mix of butter and flour (so the cake doesnt stick).
  • Add the batter and bring it to the preheated oven. Bake it for around 40 minutes.

For the topping

  • In a bowl, mix well all ingredients: coconut milk, milk and condensed milk.

Assembling all together

  • Once the cake is done, you can make some holes with a fork and already cut it into squared. This will help absorb even more the sauce.
  • Add the sauce over the entire cake. Do it while the cake is still hot.
  • Place the cake at least 2 hours inside the fridge before serving it. It is suppose to be eaten cold.
