Ingredients That Sing
Gather around, foodies! Here’s what you’ll need to conjure up this deliciously moist coconut creation:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded coconut (the more, the merrier!)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (for that extra bit of magic)
- 1 cup grated coconut for topping (because who doesn’t love a coconut shower?)
Instructions That Make You Go “Mmm”
Now, let’s roll up those sleeves and get to baking!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or two round pans if you’re feeling fancy.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, just like your favorite sitcom character.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is well blended before adding the next. Don’t rush, we’re making magic here!
- Mix in the vanilla extract and coconut milk. Your kitchen is about to smell divine!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to your wet mixture. Blend until just combined—overmixing is a cake from hell!
- Stir in the shredded coconut, because what’s coconut cake without a little coconut?
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula, making it look as pretty as a picture.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. It’s like a game of hide and seek!
- Once baked, let it cool before poking holes all over the top and drizzling that sweetened condensed milk all over. Your cake is about to get a delicious makeover!
- Top it off with grated coconut because let’s be honest – more coconut is always better.
And voilà! You now have a Brazilian-Style Moist Coconut Cake that’s ready to charm everyone at your next gathering. Just remember: it’s perfectly acceptable to eat it for breakfast—because you’re the captain of your culinary ship!
