Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-inch bundt cake pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will help eliminate any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, unsweetened coconut milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, distributing it evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely before serving or adding any optional glaze or frosting.
- For best flavor, let the cake rest for about an hour before serving, allowing the coconut flavors to fully develop.
Tips
- Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Grease your bundt pan meticulously, using a pastry brush to get into all those intricate design grooves.
- Don't overmix the batter—mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- Use fresh, high-quality shredded coconut for the most intense flavor.
- Test cake doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, consider adding a coconut glaze or toasted coconut sprinkles on top.
