Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (22-24 cm) round cake pan.
- 2
Blend eggs, milk, 2 cups sugar, and melted butter on medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth.
- 3
Add flour, shredded coconut, and baking powder to the blender. Blend another 30 seconds until the batter is silky and well combined.
- 4
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 5
While the cake bakes, make the coconut syrup: combine coconut milk, remaining 1 cup sugar, and shredded coconut in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens slightly.
- 6
Remove the cake from the oven, rest 5 minutes, then pour the warm syrup evenly over the surface. Let the syrup absorb fully before slicing and serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet before adding it to the batter for a deeper, nuttier flavor. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days — the cake only gets more moist overnight.
