Brazil is known as having very sweet desserts and very salty savories and this cake is a lighter version of super sweet Brazilian cakes. Don't be scared, is not that sweet! Although, we all need it sometimes.

It brings me memories...
On my first bite, you will see me smiling and quite teary.

Have a happy baking!

Steps

1

Butter a 25 cm round tin and powder it with flour. Heat oven 180c/fan - 150c/gas.
2

In a bowl, mix the sugar and sunflower oil. Add the eggs and beat with a mixer until it looks lighter.
3

Sieve the flour into the bowl and mix it all in low speed, with the mixer.
4

Add the creamy coconut milk, the milk, and the desiccated coconut. Mix well with the mixer and then add the baking powder. Mix till there are no lumps of baking powder left.
5

Pour into the tin and in the oven. Wait 30 minutes until it's cooked. To make sure it is ready, pierce the cake in the middle with a skewer. It is ready if the skewer comes out dry.
6

Prepare the sauce. Mix the coconut milk and the condensed milk in a bowl. Set aside.
7

Once the cake is ready, leave it to cool down so you can cut it horizontally across the middle, without breaking it.
8

Spread the sauce onto the bottom. It will be quite runny but the more you put the better it is. Usually half of the sauce.
9

Evenly, sprinkle desiccated coconut on. Put as much as you like!
10

Put the top part back on, pierce all over the top with a fork to let the sauce in. Pour the sauce until it is all covered. Sprinkle more coconut and voila!!
If you want, you can put it back in the tin to pour the sauce. It will contain the liquid. Also if prepared the day before, keep it in the fridge, it makes it even more special.

Hi fellow cooks! I am a "sauce" (read South 😂)American girl(older girl 😁) living in Bristol since 2007.I was born in Chile but grew up in Brazil, between two cultures, two languages, two food planets.Everything happened in the kitchen - the laughs, the dances, the pasta fights, the dog's invasion after each meal, and so on.Everyone in my family cooks.Since a young age, I saw my grandparents, my parents, my sister, my brothers, aunties & uncles and everyone else around me trying to feed me, all the time! It doesn't happen anymore, I have to do it now, for myself and for my family. I feed everyone!Here you will find some of those old recipes and some new ones.Also, you will see that my cooking skills come with nice food photos too.See you in the kitchen!
