Cooking Steps
- Grease the base and sides of an 8x8-inch baking dish with 1 tsp softened butter.
- Add eggs, 1/2 cup oil and 2/3 cup water to a large bowl, then whisk to combine. Add Vanilla Baking Mix, then whisk until smooth.
- Transfer cake batter to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until lightly golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 25-35 mins.
- When cake is done, transfer baking dish onto a wire rack to cool slightly, 30 min.
- Prick the top of the cake all over with a skewer or fork.
- Combine coconut milk and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl.
- Slowly pour coconut milk mixture over top of the cake, then place in the refrigerator to let the flavours meld, 1 hour. (NOTE: The coconut milk will pool around the edges of the pan at first and slowly absorb into the cake over time.) (TIP: The flavours will intensify the longer the cake sits in the fridge. For best results, refrigerate overnight.)
- Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add coconut to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 1-2 min. Transfer to a plate.
- Add cream, half the cinnamon and 1 tbsp of the remaining sweetened condensed milk to another medium bowl. (NOTE: Use remaining condensed milk for a future creation!) Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat cream until soft peaks form, 1-2 min.
- Spread cinnamon whipped cream over top of chilled cake, then sprinkle toasted coconut over top.
- Slice cake and serve.
