Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup coconut milk, 1 large egg, 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold in 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut. Mix until just combined, making sure not to overwork the dough.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the dough to a greased 8-inch round cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Step 5: Let the coconut bake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, ideal for breakfast or as a side with stews.
