Preparation
- Grease and flour a 12.5 x 8-inch (32 x 20 cm) baking pan.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Beat the eggs with the sugar until pale and creamy.
- Add the oil and milk, and continue beating.
- Mix in the shredded coconut.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a large rectangular serving plate.
- While the cake is still warm, pour the hot milk evenly over the surface. The cake will absorb the milk (you can add more milk if desired).
- Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
- Once cooled, cut into squares. For a chilled version, refrigerate the cake.
