Pre-heat oven to 180ºC / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4.

In a food processor or blender mix all the wet ingredients together (milk, condensed milk, butter and eggs).

Then add all the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, coconut and cheese) and blend for 30 seconds.

Transfer to a greased shallow casserole, or a baking dish, and bake for 50 to 55 minutes.

Allow the cake to cool, carefully remove from the casserole or baking dish, then decorate it with sieved icing sugar.

Cook's Notes

Do not open the oven when cooking as the mixture is like a batter and needs constant heat.

Do not worry if the cake cracks a little towards the end of baking.

Serve for breakfast alongside a bitter coffee, it really does work!

The coconut and Parmesan cheese are optional but add a little South American sweet and savoury seasoning to the dish.
