Coconut Cake

What you need

  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 150g butter

Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.

What you do

Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs, fold in flour, baking powder and coconut. Bake forty minutes until golden on top.

How it feels to make

Desiccated coconut makes the batter look wrong and the cake come out right.

Mom wrote on the back

Toast a handful of the coconut for the top. It makes it look finished.
