Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F/180°C. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch (20 cm) square cake pan. Then line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the rest of the cake ingredients and mix at medium speed just until well combined and blended. Do not over mix. (See Note 1)
- Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before completely removing it from the pan to a cooling rack. Once the cake has cooled down enough, cut the cake into half then into smaller bars.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. Pour condensed milk in a pan then add water. Bring this to a simmer. Add the ube flavoring and mix just until well blended. Turn the heat off and transfer to a flat, deep plate.
- Place the desiccated coconut on a plate or wide bowl.
- Take a piece of the cake bar and roll it with ube glaze. Then dredge it with desiccated coconut to cover completely.
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy
Notes
- NOTE 1: The batter should be pale yellow and quite thick. If the batter looks a bit curdled it means the eggs or butter are not quite at room temperature, just beat for a few more seconds, in this case.
