Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a 9–10 inch (24–26 cm) round baking pan.
- 2
Place the eggs, sugar, milk, coconut, grated cheese, flour, and baking powder in a blender. Blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth.
- 3
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the centre of the oven.
- 4
Bake for 30–40 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- 5
Turn off the oven and leave the bake inside, door closed, for 10 minutes — this prevents it from sinking.
- 6
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 15 minutes, then unmould and serve.
💡 Chef's Tip
Do not open the oven door during baking — the bake will immediately collapse. Serve warm or at room temperature. Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavour.
