This innocent-looking cake is one of the most unusual things I have ever baked. All the ingredients seem ordinary (actually I have almost all of them constantly in my kitchen) and yet the result is amazing. When I saw it on Ping’s blog (Ping’s Pickings<\/a>) and read her description I knew I would love it. In fact, it was so good, I had to bake it two days in a row because the first one disappeared too quickly to take any photos. (I cannot say me or my husband suffered from this obligatory second batch…)<\/p>\n If just like me, you like coconut and rich, moist cakes, you might also find this one irresistible. It contains a very small amount of flour and the dessicated coconut together with eggs keep the shape together, creating something close to a pudding, but still firm and possible to cut into slices. It is also addictive because, even a child could prepare it. In fact, the pre-baking stage takes maybe five minutes and there is no need to use any kitchen appliance. In my opinion the recipe is foolproof and allows certain modifications.\u00a0Actually, since I didn’t have coconut cream, but lots of coconut milk, I used cow cream and coconut milk instead. I doubled the dessicated coconut amount, skipped vanilla and changed the pie shape to a rectangular form. In spite of these changes and in spite of a slightly different final texture (see Ping’s result), the cake was extraordinary. \u00a0It tasted at least ten times better served very cold, after a night spent in the fridge, so I strongly advise you to make it late at night and wait until the following day.<\/p>\n Thank you so much, Ping, for this sensational recipe!
