Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Mix in the vanilla extract and gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring continuously until well incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix.
Once the batter is smooth and lump-free, gently fold in the desiccated coconut to add texture and a hint of coconut flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
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 allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Malagasy Cake as-is, or garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of coconut cream for extra flair. Enjoy!
