Ingredients
  • 170 g butter
  • 245 g flour
  • 1 1/2 cups packed shredded coconut
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 270 g white sugar
  • 2 large whole eggs
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 180 g sifted icing sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • Pink food colouring (optional)

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 175ºC/350ºF degrees.

  4. In a mixer, beat butter until creamy and gradually add sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs, egg whites, and vanilla and continue beating until well mixed.
  6. Add flour mixture alternating with the coconut milk, starting and ending with the flour mix and beating well after each addition.
