Step-by-Step Instructions for Portuguese Coconut Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly.
- In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, shredded coconut, eggs, and sugar. Mix vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Whisk until no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
