- Makes: 1 serving (86.3 g)
- Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
- 21 g Plain flour
- 0.7 g Baking powder
- 0.1 g Salt
- 0.2 g Grated nutmeg
- 0.2 g Ground cinnamon
- 13.5 g Coconut, freshly grated
- 16.5 g Brown sugar
- 4.2 g Egg
- 20 g Coconut milk
- 9.5 g Butter, melted
- 0.4 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and butter a 20 × 30 cm baking tray or tin.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl, then stir in the grated coconut and brown sugar, breaking up any lumps of sugar.
- Whisk the egg with the coconut milk, melted butter and vanilla, pour it into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Spread it evenly in the tray and bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and a skewer pushed into the middle comes out clean.
- Leave it to cool in the tray for at least 20 minutes, then cut it into 12 squares. It keeps for three days, covered. Makes 12 squares; the amounts are for one serving, so multiply every ingredient by 12 for the whole cake.
