Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets like Shoprite or Tuskys. The 'American-style glass' typically refers to a standard 200ml measure. Fresh eggs and coconut are readily available in local open-air markets (masoko). For the Parmesan, any hard, salty grating cheese is an acceptable local substitute.

- Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a uniform mixture.
- Add the wheat flour and pulse or blend just enough to incorporate it into the batter, taking care not to overmix.
- Pour the batter 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 custard is golden and set to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.
