Part 4/6:
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Grease only the bottom and consider placing parchment paper at the bottom to help with ease of removal. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes. The cake is ready when it passes the toothpick test—insert a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Creating the Prestígio Filling
While your cake is baking, it's the perfect time to prepare the filling. Start by heating two cans of sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Mix in the dried coconut flakes and fresh grated coconut. Then, adding cream will lend more creaminess to your filling. Once the ingredients are combined, cook until it thickens, resembling a brigadeiro texture.
After cooking for about 10 minutes, set aside to cool.
