Ingredients

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 bag (100g) shredded coconut

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Where to find ingredients
You can find all these pantry staples at major Canadian grocery chains like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Metro. Look for 'shredded coconut' in the baking aisle. If you prefer a different texture, you can substitute the shredded coconut with desiccated coconut, though the original recipe specifically uses shredded to achieve its signature moistness.
Preparation method
- In a blender jar, combine the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, eggs, butter, flour, and sugar.
- Blend the ingredients on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- Add the baking powder and gently stir it in by hand with a spatula, or pulse the blender just once or twice to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into a greased and lightly floured cake pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it stand until it is warm to the touch.
- While still slightly warm, cut the cake into even squares.
- Lightly dust the pieces of cake with granulated sugar before serving.
Observations
This blender cake is a staple of Brazilian home cooking, cherished for its simplicity and comforting flavor. Because the batter is mixed entirely in a blender, it is an incredibly convenient option for anyone looking for a delicious, homemade dessert without the fuss of complex techniques. The combination of shredded coconut and creamy condensed milk creates a moist, flavorful crumb that pairs beautifully with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
