  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (73.6 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 7.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 15 g Sugar
  • 12.5 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.4 g Baking powder
  • 0.2 g Vanilla extract
  • 13 g Milk, whole
  • 7.5 g Butter, unsalted
  • 5 g Coconut, desiccated
  • 12.5 g Brown sugar (farin)

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C and line a tin, about 20 × 30 cm, with baking paper.
  2. Whisk the eggs and sugar for 4-5 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Mix the flour with the baking powder and vanilla.
  3. Warm four-fifths of the milk with a third of the butter until the butter melts. Fold the flour mixture and the warm milk into the eggs to a smooth batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, until risen, golden and almost done.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the rest of the butter in a pan with the rest of the milk, the brown sugar and the coconut, and let it bubble for 1 minute, stirring.
  6. Take out the cake, spread the topping evenly over it and turn the oven up to 225°C. Bake for 5 minutes more, until the topping bubbles and turns golden; don't let it burn.
  7. Let it cool in the tin and cut into 20 pieces.
