Ingredients:
For the Cake Base:
- 3 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 80 g shredded coconut
- 80 ml oil
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
For the Filling and Topping:
- 200 g Nutella
- 2–3 tbsp jam (flavor of your choice, e.g., apricot or raspberry)
Preparation:
1. Prepare the Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking pan (approximately 20×20 cm or similar) with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Gradually add the oil in a thin stream while mixing continuously to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold them gently into the egg mixture. Add the shredded coconut and mix until just combined.
2. Bake the Cake Base:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before proceeding with the filling.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Once cooled, spread a thin layer of jam over the entire surface of the cake. This adds a subtle tanginess and keeps the cake moist.
- Warm the Nutella slightly (if needed) to make it easier to spread, then generously coat the top of the cake with it.
4. Optional Decoration:
- For an added touch, sprinkle some shredded coconut over the Nutella layer or decorate with chocolate shavings, nuts, or berries as desired.
5. Serve:
- Slice the cake into squares or rectangles and serve. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea and is perfect for family gatherings or as a treat for special occasions.
This cake combines the rich creaminess of Nutella with the delicate texture of coconut, creating a dessert that is simple yet utterly delicious. Enjoy a taste of tradition with this delightful recipe from Grandma’s kitchen! 🍰🥥
