Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local supermarkets or neighborhood public markets (palengke). Look for the baking powder and all-purpose flour in the baking aisle, and canned condensed milk in the canned goods section. If preferred, you can substitute the shredded coconut with dessicated coconut found in the baking supplies section.
Preparation method
- In a blender jar, combine the condensed milk, shredded coconut, eggs, butter, all-purpose flour, and sugar.
- Pulse or blend the mixture until the batter reaches a smooth, consistent texture.
- Gently fold in the baking powder using a spoon or spatula, or pulse very briefly in the blender just to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into a cake pan that has been greased with butter and lightly dusted with flour.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool until it is warm to the touch.
- While still warm, cut the cake into uniform squares.
- Roll each piece in granulated sugar before serving.
