Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk Adds moisture and rich coconut flavor; substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and contributes to the cake's moistness; no known substitutions recommended.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Gives structure to the cake; for a gluten-free option, replace with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Serves as a leavening agent for a fluffy texture; check for freshness to avoid poor rising.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened) Adds richness and moisture; can use dairy-free butter to make it vegan.
  • 3 large eggs Provide stability and moisture; substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option if desired.
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Enhances the coconut flavor and texture; can substitute with desiccated coconut, adjusting water content as necessary.

Equipment

  • round baking pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls
  • silicone spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a round baking pan generously with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Slowly add the eggs, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter-sugar-egg mixture, alternating with the full-fat coconut milk.
  4. Gently fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut using a silicone spatula. Take care not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared round baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
