Step-by-Step Instructions for Portuguese Coconut Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin with paper liners or oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, shredded coconut, eggs, and sugar. Whisk for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder, then set aside.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined, without overmixing.
- Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown. Test with a toothpick.
- Let cakes cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
