Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams desiccated coconut
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter, then dust it lightly with flour or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring continuously until well incorporated.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Once the batter is smooth and lump-free, gently fold in the desiccated coconut to add texture and a hint of coconut flavor.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve the Malagasy Cake as-is, or garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of coconut cream for extra flair. Enjoy!
