misturar

In a bowl, mix the three large eggs with the 400g can of dulce de leche until the ingredients are incorporated and form a smooth cream.

2min

Dica: This preparation can be done in a blender or stand mixer, but if using a blender, do not process after adding the coconut to maintain texture.

2
misturar

Fold in the shredded dried coconut (100g), the grated Parmesan cheese (50g), the three tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and the teaspoon of baking powder into the egg and dulce de leche mixture.

3min

Dica: Switch the wire whisk (fouet) for a spatula when adding the dry ingredients.

misturar

Mix well with the spatula until the flour and baking powder are incorporated, dissolving the flour, even if the batter isn't perfectly smooth due to the coconut.

1min

Dica: There is no risk of the recipe failing because of the dulce de leche base.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool before inverting it onto a plate and slicing.

Dica: It is recommended to let it cool completely to prevent the creamy section from breaking when unmolding.
