Coconut Cake Recipe...my sister's favourite...



Ingredients:
 1-1/2 cups unsweetened desiccated coconut 
 100 gms unsalted butter, softened 
 2 cups all-purpose flour (Maida) 
 1 tsp baking powder 
 1 tsp vanilla essence 
 11/3 cups sugar 
 1 cup whole milk 
 1/2 tsp salt 
 3 eggs
 Method:
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C or 347 degrees F.
Now grease a cake pan and line bottom with parchment paper.
Grease paper and dust pan with flour.
Sieve together flour, baking powder and salt.
Beat butter with mixer till creamy.
Gradually beat in sugar on medium speed till pale and smooth.
Add vanilla essence to it, stir.
Beat in eggs.
Beat in flour mixture and milk in batches over slow speed.
Raise the speed to medium and beat batter 1-1/2 minutes till soft, now fold in the coconut.
Spoon batter into the cake pan and spread uniformly.
Bake cake in the middle of the oven till golden brown or till a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes at the temp of 175 C.
Cool cake in the pan for about 1 hour.
Remove paper and invert onto a rack to cool completely.

Coconut Cake is ready to serve.
"I mix the butter and sugar using a spoon in a big bowl. To beat the eggs I use a mixer( the one we use to grind tomato etc), beat it till it is fluffy with a light yellow colour. Rest all the mixing is done in the bowl itself using a spoon...but this is a lot of hard work:)"
