  • 1 cup 80 g shredded coconut

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly with butter, then lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking
  2. Prepare a larger baking tray and fill it with hot water halfway; this will be used as a water bath for even baking
  3. In a blender, add sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and coconut milk
  4. Add eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract into the blender
  5. Blend for about 1–2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy
  6. Gradually add flour and baking powder into the blender
  7. Blend again until fully combined with no lumps
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan carefully
  9. Place the cake pan inside the water bath tray
  10. Transfer everything into the oven gently
  11. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean
  12. Remove from oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes
  13. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate
  14. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature
  15. For best texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours
  16. To prepare the topping, combine coconut milk and sugar in a saucepan
  17. Heat on medium and stir until sugar dissolves completely
  18. Add shredded coconut and cook for 2–3 minutes
  19. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly
  20. Pour the coconut topping evenly over the chilled cake
  21. Allow it to soak slightly into the cake for extra moisture
  22. Slice and serve chilled for best flavor and texture
