Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake

October 4, 2014 By Manu 12 Comments

Condensed Milk and Coconut Cake

As you may know, my eldest daughter loves everything coconut at the moment, and she has a very sweet tooth (she took after her daddy in this).  So she always wants something sweet in her school lunch box and I try to make something from scratch for her, so at least I know what she is eating.  I usually bake muffins or cookies, but lately I have also added cake to the list.  It actually takes much less time to make a simple cake than muffins and once it cools down, I slice it up and freeze the individual slices well wrapped in cling wrap.  Like that, she can have a delicious portion of home-made cake in her lunch box without me having to make one daily.  Today’s recipe is very easy and is made with condensed milk (get my recipe for home-made Condensed Milk here!) and flavoured with coconut.  I came up with this recipe while trying to finish off a few leftovers and my kids liked it so much that they asked me to make it again… and again.  Lucky for them (and for me) I had noted down the recipe, just in case, so I am able to make it again and share it with all of you!  Enjoy!

    Is there alternative to the coconut essence? I can’t seem to find it in stores.

      Hi Brooke, you can skip it entirely or substitute it with vanilla essence. It only intensifies the coconut flavour, but the cake will still taste like coconut even without the essence. 🙂

        the recipe says coconut milk, however the title says condensed milk – can condensed milk be used.
