In a bowl, beat 3 eggs with 2 water glasses of granulated sugar.
Dissolve 1 water glass of cocoa powder in 1 water glass of hot water and add it to the mixture. Add 1 water glass of vegetable oil, 1 water glass of milk, 3 water glasses of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 packet of vanilla, then beat everything together until combined.
Add 1/2 water glass of shredded coconut and stir with a spoon until incorporated.
Grease your cake pan, dust it all over with cocoa powder, and shake out the excess.
Pour the prepared batter into the cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F), testing for doneness with a toothpick. Once baked, sprinkle shredded coconut on top and serve. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

For the cake to rise well, the eggs and milk must be at room temperature.
Sifting the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder before adding them incorporates air into the batter and helps the cake turn out light and fluffy.
As noted in the recipe, dusting the pan with cocoa powder gives the outside of the cake a much smoother and more elegant finish.
Always do a toothpick test before taking the cake out of the oven; every oven bakes at a slightly different rate.
If you like, you can drizzle chocolate sauce over the top before sprinkling the coconut.

About This Recipe

Coconut, a member of the palm family, is an indispensable fruit of tropical climates. Whether fresh or dried and shredded, coconut is commercially traded by many countries around the world. Because of its hard, brown shell, it can only be cracked open with the help of sharp, large knives. The coconut palm can grow over 25 meters (82 feet) tall. With a lifespan of 100–120 years, the tree bears fruit continuously for an average of 70–80 years. Coconut is quite difficult to grow in non-tropical regions, which is why it is commonly sold in shredded or powdered form.
