ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 whole eggs
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened fine coconut
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup water
Method
Step 1
Prepare simple syrup by combining 2/3 cup water and 2/3 cup sugar. Boil till sugar is melted. Set aside.
Step 2
Beat the sugar and oil until combined. Add the 2 eggs and beat well.
Step 3
Sift in the flour and baking powder and add the coconut and milk. Mix well.
Step 4
Pour into a buttered and floured 8×8 pan and allow the batter to rest on the counter for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 F.
Step 5
Once the batter has rested bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The cake should be a nice golden brown.
Step 6
Once the cake comes out of the oven, pour the syrup evenly over the cake (Make sure the syrup is room temperature). Cut and Serve. (I find that a disposable plastic knife cuts through sticky desserts better and with less cake sticking to the knife.)
