Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are widely available in supermarkets across Trinidad and Tobago. Milk, sugar, eggs, and all-purpose flour are staples found in the baking aisle. For grated parmesan, check the dairy section; look for block or pre-grated options. Grated coconut is commonly found in the baking supplies or snack aisle, often available as desiccated or semi-moist coconut. If fresh coconut is available, you can grate it yourself for a more authentic texture.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, milk, melted margarine, grated cheese, and grated coconut
- Pulse well until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous
- Add the flour and blend just enough to incorporate it into the batter, being careful not to overmix
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to the touch
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool down before serving
