Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan generously with butter.
2
Add the corn, condensed milk, eggs, lime juice, flour, grated cheese, desiccated coconut, coconut milk and melted butter to a blender. Blend on high for about 2 minutes until completely smooth.
3
Add the baking powder and blend for a further 20 seconds just to combine.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
5
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6
Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before unmoulding. Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Chef's Tip

For an even creamier, custard-like texture, refrigerate the cake overnight — it firms up beautifully. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top before baking for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
