1 cup cornstarch
3 large eggs
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Cow's milk (as needed to reach desired consistency)
1 package chocolate sprinkles

Where to find ingredients

Chocolate sprinkles and baking powder can be found in most supermarkets. All-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and cow's milk are pantry staples available at any grocery store. Coconut milk is also commonly found in the international aisle of larger supermarkets or specialty stores.

Preparation method

  2. Add the eggs, coconut milk, vegetable oil, and cow's milk gradually, mixing until you get a smooth batter of the desired consistency
  3. Beat the egg whites separately until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the batter, being careful not to overmix
  4. Finally, add the baking powder and chocolate sprinkles, mixing gently to distribute evenly
  5. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at medium temperature (approximately 350°F or 180°C)
  7. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool before unmolding
