Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix using a hand or stand mixer on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour in the coconut milk, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth and fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

Step 5

Gently fold in the shredded coconut using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Torta De Coco Coconut Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
