7. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, and sprinkle some more shredded coconut on top for that extra tropical flair.
8. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely.
10. Slice and serve with tea or coffee. Enjoy!
