Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk. Fold in the shredded coconut.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring until smooth.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and poke holes all over the top with a toothpick. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the cake.
8. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top if desired. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and enjoy!
