Ingredients
2 cups milk
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons melted margarine
5 eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
100 g desiccated coconut
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons melted margarine
5 eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local grocery store or 'kirana' shop. For the parmesan, look in the refrigerated dairy aisle; the desiccated coconut is usually found in the baking supplies or dry goods section. Use butter as a richer, high-quality substitute for margarine if preferred.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, milk, melted margarine, grated Parmesan, and desiccated coconut.
- Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Add the all-purpose flour and pulse just enough to incorporate it into the batter, taking care not to over-blend.
- Pour the mixture into a greased and lightly floured baking tin.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cake feels firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
