🛒 Ingredients

18 servings

18
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1½ cups (150 g) plain, unsweetened corn flakes
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (50 g) shredded coconut
  • ½ cup (50 g) cream cheese or mild soft cheese
  • 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and grease and flour a 25 cm (10-inch) round baking pan.

  2. 2

    Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high for about 2 minutes until you have a smooth, uniform batter.

  3. 3

    Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the corn flakes fully absorb the liquid and the batter thickens slightly.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding.

  6. 6

    Slice into portions and serve warm for the best soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

💡 Chef's Tip

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra aroma. Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, this cake keeps well for up to 3 days.
