Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk, shaken well
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting or glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease mini Bundt pans thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Using a spatula, gently fold the shredded coconut into the batter.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini Bundt pans, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before turning them onto a cooling rack. Once cooled completely, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and powdered sugar, or drizzle with a glaze.

Notes

[‘Use freshly toasted coconut for maximum flavor.’, ‘Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter.’, ‘Grease mini Bundt pans generously to prevent sticking.’, ‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense cakes.’, ‘Test for doneness using a toothpick or cake tester.’]
