Introduction:
This Simple Blender Coconut Cake is a delightfully easy and quick recipe that brings the tropical flavors of coconut to your table with minimal effort. Perfect for a last-minute dessert, this cake is moist, fluffy, and bursting with coconut flavor. Using a blender for the batter makes the preparation process incredibly simple and fast.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Additions:

  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes for topping
  • A drizzle of coconut glaze (made from coconut milk and powdered sugar)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  1. Prepare the Batter:
  • In a blender, add the coconut milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until well combined.
  • Add the granulated sugar and blend again until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut to the blender. Blend on low speed just until the ingredients are combined and the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing.
  1. Bake the Cake:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  1. Cool and Serve:
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If desired, sprinkle coconut flakes on top for extra texture and flavor.

Tips for Success:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overblend the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid a dense cake.
  • For added coconut flavor, you can substitute part of the granulated sugar with coconut sugar.
