Mothers’ day is one of them days we all prepare special delicacies for our families. Today, I share with you the recipes of my very own delicacies.


CARAMELIZED COCONUT CAKE

cups of self-raising flour
½ cups of dark brown sugar
1 cup of sugar
½ teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon of baking powder
½ cup of desiccated coconut
0.4kg of butter {at room temperature}
7 eggs
½ cup of sugar for the caramel
2 tablespoons of milk
tablespoons of vanilla extract
½ teaspoon of almond extract
12 peacans
Glazed cherries


METHOD:

Before starting, spread the cake tin with butter.
Sieve the flour and the raising agents together and set aside
Separate the eggs … yolks in a soup plate and the white in a bowl
Beat the egg white until fluffy, set aside
In a small pot, add the remaining sugar, turn on the gas heat and allow heating.
When the sugar melts completely, add ½ tablespoon of butter and the milk {this helps it not to stick to the pot}
Once the sugar is all caramelized, turn off the gas and allow cooling
In a bowl, put in the butter and the sugar
Cream with the electric mixer or a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes or longer if using wooden spoon
Add the yolks, vanilla, and almonds: cream together
Add the flour in 3 batches, after the first batch, add the caramel with the coconuts and turn with the lowest mixer speed or with wooden spoon slowly.
Turn on the oven at 200 degrees
