Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, cow's milk, and baking powder are standard pantry staples found in the baking aisle of any supermarket. Cornstarch is also widely available in the baking aisle. Coconut milk is usually found in the international foods aisle or the baking aisle, often near other canned milk products. Chocolate sprinkles (often referred to as "chocolate jimmies" or "confetti sprinkles" in the US) can be found in the baking or cake decorating section of larger supermarkets or in specialty baking supply stores. Some Latin or international food markets may also carry them.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, and cornstarch
- Add the eggs, coconut milk, oil, and cow's milk gradually, mixing until you get a homogeneous batter with the desired consistency
- Beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter, without overmixing
- Finally, add the baking powder and chocolate sprinkles, mixing gently to distribute
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan
- Bake in a preheated oven at medium temperature (approximately 180°C or 350°F)
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch
- Remove from the oven and let it cool before unmolding
