  • Total Time: 60

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Toasted coconut flakes for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, mix the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half of the caramel sauce in a bowl.
  • Once the cake is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the top with a fork.
  • Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, top with toasted coconut flakes and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the cake.
