Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup milk, or more as needed
  • ¼ cup simple syrup, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2
Whisk coconut and sugar together in a bowl. Sift in flour and whisk to combine. Form a well in the center.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 5
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.
