Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a rectangular baking pan.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- 3
Gradually fold in the sifted flour, alternating with the Fanta. Stir in the baking powder until the batter is completely smooth.
- 4
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold them into the batter using a spatula with light circular motions to keep it airy.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 6
While the cake is still hot from the oven, pour the coconut milk evenly over the top so it soaks deep into the sponge.
- 7
Drizzle the condensed milk all over the surface, then finish with a generous layer of desiccated coconut.
💡 Chef's Tip
For best results, make this cake a day ahead — the coconut milk and condensed milk will fully soak in overnight, delivering a beautifully moist and flavour-packed texture.
