This simple coconut cake recipe is one of my favorites because I love coconut. The recipe has been mostly eyeing the ingredients, so I tried to write a recipe. This has been in my family for years.
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.
