Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk. Mix until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
Prepare Custard Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and a splash of coconut milk. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, followed by the custard mixture, and then top with the remaining batter.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.
