Ingredients List
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 500 ml regular milk
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine (melted)
- 1 small cup condensed milk (about 160–180 ml)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar (optional, based on sweetness preference)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Add the coconut milk, regular milk, melted butter, and condensed milk.
Whisk everything until creamy and well blended.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Sift in the flour and optional sugar.
Whisk gently until the batter is silky and lump-free.
Step 3: Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 4: Bake
Pour the batter into the baking pan and tap gently to release air bubbles.
Bake for 35–45 minutes or until:
- the top is golden
- the center is set
- a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little moisture is OK since it’s a creamy cake)
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Let the cake cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or chilled for a denser, creamier texture.
Additional Notes
- Coconut milk adds richness, but you can replace it with evaporated milk or more regular milk.
- Add vanilla extract or lemon zest for extra aroma.
- Serve with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or caramel drizzle for a fancy finish.

FAQs
Q: Can I blend the batter instead of whisking?
Yes! A blender makes the texture extra smooth.
Q: Why does my cake look wobbly?
This cake has a custard nature—slight wobble is normal and becomes creamy once cooled.
