Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened for that authentic flavor)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 cup of milk (or coconut milk for that extra coconut goodness)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup of butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Ready to whip up some magic? Here’s how to make these Portuguese Coconut Cakes:
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). You want that oven nice and hot for baking!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, shredded coconut, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend those ingredients until smooth.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. Don’t be afraid to get in there and make it homogenous!
- Grease a baking pan (around 9×5 inches works great) and pour your batter into it. Spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm or at room temperature. Either way, it’s bomb!
Enjoy these delightful Portuguese Coconut Cakes with your family and friends. Perfect for any gathering or just to treat yourself. Happiness is homemade, y’all!
