Coconut Cake

Ingredients:

3 large eggs

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

2 1/2 cups unsweetened finely shredded coconut

a pinch of salt

1 tsp baking powder

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare an 8 inch square baking pan by laying parchment paper at the bottom of the pan and leaving extra to make a sling.
3. To a large mixing bowl, add three large eggs and sugar and mix until pale and fluffy.
4. Add vanilla extract and mix.
5. Add heavy cream and mix to combine.
6. Add unsweetened shredded coconut , a pinch of salt, and mix until thoroughly combined.
7. Refrigerate the batter or place in a cool spot for 30 mins. The batter will become thicker in consistency as the shredded coconut absorbs most of the liquid and becomes hydrated.
8. Add baking powder and mix thoroughly.
9. Add the batter to the baking pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 min.
