How to cook Cocoanuts

Step 1

Combine eggs with sugar, vanilla, salt and beat everything into a fluffy foam.

Step 2

Add the coconut to the egg mixture. Mix the dough thoroughly. You should get a thick sticky mass. If the mass is watery, then you can add a little more coconut flakes.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 200'C. Grease a baking sheet with oil. From the coconut mass form cakes in the form of balls, put on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Remove the cakes from the pan and cool.

Cocoanuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a sugar substitute in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the sugar with a sugar alternative like erythritol or stevia, but be mindful that this may slightly change the texture of the final product.

How long will these coconut cakes stay fresh?

Store the cooled coconut cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They tend to dry out if left exposed to air.

Can these coconut cakes be frozen?

What if I don't have vanilla extract? Can I use something else?

If you don't have vanilla extract, you can substitute it with almond extract (use half the amount as almond extract is stronger) or a pinch of ground cardamom.

Can I make these coconut cakes vegan?

To make these vegan, substitute the eggs with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken).

What's the best way to prevent the cakes from spreading too thin while baking?

Make sure your oven is at the correct temperature and the baking sheet is not too hot before placing the coconut balls. Also, don't overmix the dough, as this can release too much moisture.

Can I add some chocolate chips to these coconut cakes?

Absolutely! Chocolate chips would be a delicious addition. Gently fold them into the coconut mixture before baking.

How can I tell when the coconut cakes are done?

The cakes are done when they are golden brown around the edges and slightly firm to the touch. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.

What can i serve with these coconut cakes?

These coconut cakes pair well with coffee, tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
