Coconut Cake ( Eggless)

My favorite coconut cake?

Probably the best coconut cake I’ve ever tasted is actually not coconut cake..we call it a "Khobra cake" ...the one which you get in New Poona Bakery, Pune. Plain sponge cake coated with jam and desicated coconut is what they call a " Khobra cake".
I made this by adding the desicated cocout in the cake mixture and not New Poona Bakery style.
It has distinctive flavor, the coconut gives wonderful texture to the cake which is usually not in regular spongy cakes.



for this you need:-
Refined Flour 1 cup
Desiccated coconut 1 cup
Butter 1/2 cup
Condensed milk 1 tube ( 170 ml)
Vanilla essence ½ tsp (optional)
Baking powder 2 1/2 tsp
Milk 1/2 cup


1. Pre-heat the oven at 180 0 c. Grease and dust the baking dish with butter and refied flour respectively. Sprinkle some desicated coconut as well to get brownish colour to the cake when you turn the cake upside down.
2. Mix 3/4 cup desiccated coconut, baking powder and sieved refined flour in a mixing bowl.
3. In another bowl beat butter, condensed milk along with essence (optional) till light.
4. To this gently add the flour mix, fold it gently, and take care while beating so as to avoid lumps.
5. Once the flour is mixed;  add milk to adjust the consistency and beat for another 2 minute.
6. Pour the prepared mix in the prepared baking dish. Bake the batter for approximately 25 minutes at 180 0 c .
7. Once done, remove, let it cool. Garnish it with the remaining desicated coconut for better taste and serve.
