Ingredients
1 can (14 oz / 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz / 354 ml) evaporated milk
1 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup finely grated coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and lightly dust with flour.
2. Add sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, flour, vanilla, and grated coconut to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, 30 to 45 seconds.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
4. Bake 50 to 60 minutes until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. Cool in the pan 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a thin knife, then invert onto a serving plate.
6. Serve warm for ultra-creamy texture or chill 2 hours for cleaner slices. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Let the cake cool before unmolding to avoid cracks.
Do not overbake—pull it when the center still has a gentle jiggle.
Sweetness varies by coconut brand; use unsweetened coconut for less sweet, sweetened for dessert-shop vibe.
