Preparation Time: 1 10

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: Mediterranean

Equipment

Medium-sized baking pan / 2 loaf pans

Ingredients

Coating:

▢ 5 tbsp. Dulce de Leche
▢ 3 tbsp. milk

Instructions

Cake:

Beat the egg whites with the sugar until they form a strong and firm foam. Use your trusty electric mixer and it won’t take more than five minutes at high speed!
After that, adjust the speed to the lowest level and start adding the egg yolks one at a time.
Next, add the oil and sour cream.
Throw the flour, coconut, and baking powder in and mix for five to ten seconds. If the ingredients still aren’t evenly combined, roll up your sleeves and hand-mix until they are!
Bake your cake in a preheated oven at 350℉ (180℃) for about 25 minutes. Remember: the exact baking time depends on the oven and the baking pan you use.

Coating:

Put the Dulce de Leche with milk in a microwave-safe bowl, place it in the microwave, and melt them for around one minute.
Mix the milk and melted Dulce de Leche well before pouring them over the cake. Pretty simple, huh?

Tips

Topping the cake with some shredded coconut to give an extra layer of flavor is a splendid idea!
