Ingredients

• 3 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a campfire with medium heat, or preheat an outdoor grill to medium.

Step 2

Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a foil-lined Dutch oven with the butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness of the egg whites.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared skillet or Dutch oven, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with aluminum foil or its lid to trap the heat.

Step 8

Place the skillet or Dutch oven over the campfire or grill, ensuring it's positioned over indirect heat to prevent burning.

Step 9

Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet or Dutch oven from the heat and let the cake cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm for the best gooey texture, or allow it to cool completely if a firmer consistency is preferred.
