Coming from Kerala's tradition of spiced baking, this dessert is made by folding grated coconut into a batter blended with fresh ginger and black pepper, then baking it. The distinct warmth from the black pepper becomes the cake's signature.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the batter

5 min

Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then add the melted butter, grated ginger and freshly ground black pepper.

2

Fold in the dry ingredients

5 min

Fold in the flour and baking powder a little at a time, then stir in the grated coconut.

3

Fill the tin

2 min

Pour the batter into a greased cake tin.

4

Bake

35 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for 35 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Reminder

Grind the black pepper fresh at the last moment; pre-ground pepper loses its aroma over time and its warmth weakens. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg, milk and dairy (butter).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Starting with less black pepper than the recipe states and tasting as you go makes it easier to adjust to everyone's heat tolerance.

Tarifte yazan 1 tatlı kaşığı karabiber bende çok acı kaçtı, yarım kaşığa düşürsem tat dengesi nasıl değişir acaba? Zencefil miktarını da azaltmak gerekir mi sizce?

Karabiberi yarım kaşığa indirmeniz kekin sıcaklığını belirgin şekilde yumuşatır, zencefili aynı bırakabilirsiniz çünkü ikisi farklı bir sıcaklık türü veriyor.
