🛒 Ingredients

10 servings

10
  • 1 can of sweet corn (14 oz / 400 g), drained
  • ¾ cup (200 ml) of neutral vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (200 g) of granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (200 g) of fine cornmeal
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut
  • 1½ teaspoons of baking powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) baking pan.

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine the drained corn, oil, sugar, cornmeal, eggs, and flour. Blend for 2–3 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Add the shredded coconut and baking powder, then blend briefly for a few more seconds to combine.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.

💡 Chef's Tip

Sprinkle a little extra shredded coconut on top before baking for a prettier finish. Wrapped in plastic wrap, this cake keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days.
