🛒 Ingredients

15 servings

15
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) corn oil
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 heaped cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 heaped cup (240 g) fine cornmeal
  • 1½ cups (360 ml) warm milk
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon (11 g) baking powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt or ring cake pan.

  2. 2

    Place the eggs, sugar, and oil in a blender. Blend for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and pale.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, cornmeal, salt, and warm milk. Blend again for about 30 seconds until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Add the shredded coconut and finally the baking powder. Pulse briefly — avoid over-blending once the baking powder is added.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter immediately into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool before unmoulding.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra flavour, stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or swap part of the milk for coconut milk. Dust the finished cake with extra shredded coconut while still warm.
