Place the eggs, sugar, and oil in a blender. Blend for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- 3
Add the flour, cornmeal, salt, and warm milk. Blend again for about 30 seconds until fully combined.

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

💡 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.
