Instructions

Step 1

Separate the yolks from the whites. Whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt and set aside.

Step 2

In another separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until they whiten and double in volume. Add the milk (cold) and whisk another little, it looks like this color in the photo.

Step 3

Sift the flour (pass it through a sieve) with the baking powder and add it to the previous mixture little by little, while we continue to beat (I did everything with the electric rods at low speed)

Step 4

Place in a greased mold (30x40) and put in the oven for 40 minutes at 170ºC (or until you puncture it and the damp stick doesn't come out). It is important that it is well cooked.

Step 5

While the cake is in the oven, mix the ingredients for the syrup. Until they are perfectly mixed. (I passed the mixer to him) There is a liquid with foam left:)

Step 6

Take the cake out of the oven and poke holes in it with a toothpick (hot).

Step 7

Pour all the syrup over it, without fear!!

Step 8

And let it rest for at least 8 hours in the fridge covered with film (the ideal is to leave it all night) You will see it flooded... don't panic!

Step 9

Solito absorbs the syrup...

Step 10

In the morning, cut the cake into equal rectangles.

Step 11

And you're taking it out to roll it in grated coconut.

Step 12

you wrap it in silver foil. And another 8 hours in the fridge. This step is important so that the grated coconut also absorbs part of the syrup.

Step 13

Ready! It doesn't have any difficulty, but you have to hold on without sticking your teeth in!! It's truly the best coconut cake in the world. Eat it fresh. I look forward to your cooksnaps!
