Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pandan extract (optional for color and flavor)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a sizable bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking them together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes airy and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gradually blend in the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and pandan extract if using, stirring until well incorporated.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to maintain a light texture.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, leveling the surface with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, sprinkle shredded coconut on top for an added touch before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, mix in a tablespoon of honey into the batter.
- Swapping out half of the all-purpose flour for cake flour can give the cake a lighter, fluffier texture.
