Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded coconut gently with a spatula.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Step 8
For the crumb topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, shredded coconut, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 9
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Slice and serve. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
