Description
A delightful recipe for a moist and sweet Sticky Coconut Cake topped with a sticky glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- For the sticky glaze:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the coconut milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the sticky glaze by combining the sugar, water, and coconut milk in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top using a skewer or fork.
- Pour the sticky glaze over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving.
