Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1cup coconut milk
3 eggs
1cup all-purpose flour
1cup sugar
2 tbsp butter, softened
1cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
Topping:
1cup coconut milk
1/2cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2cup shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or baking dish.
In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, eggs, flour, sugar, and butter. Blend until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, combine the topping ingredients in a small saucepan and warm over low heat.
Once the cake has baked and slightly cooled, pour the warm topping evenly over the surface.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use a blender for a lump-free, smooth batter and custardy texture.
Chill well before serving to let the topping fully soak in.
Serve with extra coconut flakes or whipped cream if desired.
