Brazilian Coconut Cake

Oh Ya'll, I had this on my birthday at this restaurant Bosa Nova; its soooooooooooo good. I think its one of my favorite desserts now. So light and refreshing. I had to find the recipe and try it out.

Brazilian Coconut Cake
2 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 egg whites
2 cups sugar
3 egg yolks
1 cup orange juice
1 cup milk
14 ounces tin coconut milk
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup shredded coconut (or more if you like)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease your 9x13 cake pan.

Beat egg whites to soft peak, continue to beat, and slowly add your sugar in. Fold in egg yolks, then flour mixture; adding orange. Pour into pan and cook for 40 minutes.

When the cake is done, remove and  use a fork or toothpick to insert holes all over the top of the cake.

Mix milk, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk together; pouring on top of  the cake.

Sprinkle with fresh coconut, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Okay, theirs looked a little different from mine, but the taste is the same. Another hit at the house. This is a must try recipe. Really simple and you will not regret making it.

Be Sweet and Stay Sweet!
