Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the Cake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 3<\/strong>\u00a0Large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup<\/strong>\u00a0Granulated sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 cup<\/strong>\u00a0Vegetable oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 cup<\/strong>\u00a0Whole milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 cups<\/strong>\u00a0All-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tbsp<\/strong>\u00a0Baking powder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tsp<\/strong>\u00a0Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For the Custard Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 2 cups<\/strong>\u00a0Milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1\/2 cup<\/strong>\u00a0Sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 tbsp<\/strong>\u00a0Cornstarch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2<\/strong>\u00a0Egg yolks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 1 tsp<\/strong>\u00a0Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      For the Topping<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • 1\/2 cup<\/strong>\u00a0Apricot jam or honey (for glazing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • 1\/2 cup<\/strong>\u00a0Shredded coconut<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        1. Bake the Sponge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C<\/strong>. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the oil, milk, and vanilla. Sift in the flour and baking powder, folding gently until smooth. Pour into a greased 9-inch round pan and bake for 30\u201335 minutes<\/strong>. Let it cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. Prepare the Filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        In a saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a heavy cream. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let it cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        3. Assemble the Cake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Once the cake is cool, slice it horizontally in half. Spread the thick custard filling evenly over the bottom layer, then place the second layer on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        4. The Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Warm the jam or honey slightly and brush it generously over the top and sides of the cake. This acts as the \u201cglue\u201d for your coconut. Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the entire cake until it is well-coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Pro Tip:<\/strong> Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the custard to set and makes the sponge extra moist!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
