Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Whisk coconut and sugar together in a bowl. Sift in flour and whisk to combine. Form a well in the center.

Whisk eggs together in a small bowl and pour into the well. Add enough milk to reach a slightly thickened but runny texture. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Pour simple syrup over cake before serving.

Recipe Tips

For a better-tasting syrup, add rose water or coconut extract.
You can pour syrup over individual slices rather than the entire cake.
