Common along Colombia’s Caribbean coast, torta de coco is made by folding grated coconut into a simple cake batter. It is sturdy enough to pack for picnics or lunchboxes and stays moist for days. This quick, one-pan cake requires no complicated technique.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the Wet Ingredients

10 min

Beat the melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Add the milk and vanilla and continue mixing.

2

Combine the Batter

10 min

Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture. Add the grated coconut and stir until smooth.

3

Bake

60 min

Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake in an oven preheated to 175°C / 345°F for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4

Cool

30 min

Let the cake cool in the pan for half an hour, then transfer it to a wire rack. Slice once completely cool.

Reminder

Bir saat pişirdim ama ortası hâlâ hafif yapış yapıştı, on beş dakika daha uzatmam gerekti. Tadı güzeldi fakat benim damak tadıma göre hindistan cevizi biraz fazla baskındı, dozu azaltarak yeniden deneyeceğim.
