Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 Eggs, large
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy.
Add the coconut milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter is formed.
Gently stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using) to create the crumb topping.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
