Ingredients
2 cups milk
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
100g desiccated coconut
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients easily in any major supermarket in Singapore, such as NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Giant. Look for 'desiccated coconut' in the baking aisle. For the parmesan cheese, the standard pre-grated variety found in the dairy section works perfectly for this recipe. If you're looking for specifically Brazilian ingredients, check out specialty Latin American grocers or online gourmet food stores that stock imported South American pantry staples.
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, sugar, milk, melted margarine, grated parmesan, and desiccated coconut to your blender
- Blitz until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined
- Add the flour and pulse just until incorporated—don't overmix as you want to keep the batter light
- Pour the mixture into a greased and lightly floured baking tin
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it feels firm to the touch
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down properly before slicing and serving
