Where to find ingredients
All-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, cow's milk, and baking powder are typically found in the baking aisle of most supermarkets. Cornstarch is usually in the same section or with baking supplies. Coconut milk can be found in the international foods aisle, often near Asian or Latin American products, or in specialty health food stores. Chocolate sprinkles (often referred to as jimmies in some regions) are usually in the baking aisle or candy section of larger supermarkets. If you can't find specific chocolate sprinkles, you can substitute with mini chocolate chips for a similar effect.
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 achieve a homogeneous batter of 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
