5-Minute Prep Coconut “Cloud” Cake
Prep time: 5 minutes | Bake time: 30–35 minutes | Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut (fine desiccated works best)
4 large Eggs (at room temperature)
1 cup Full-fat coconut milk (from a can, shaken well)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional: 2–3 tbsp of monk fruit or erythritol if you prefer a sweeter cake.
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 7 or 8 inches) with coconut oil or butter.
Blend the Batter: In a blender or large bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, and sweetener (if using). Whisk or blend until the mixture is frothy and well-combined.
Incorporate Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut and salt. Stir gently until all the coconut is moistened. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes so the coconut can absorb some of the liquid.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and the center feels set to the touch.
Cool and Set: For the best “melt-in-your-mouth” experience, let the cake cool completely. Like the blueberry yogurt cake we discussed, this cake sets beautifully if chilled in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Why This Recipe Works
