Method
1. Creaming the Butter and Sugar
Start by combining the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Using a whisk, beat the ingredients until creamy. This process should take about 3-4 minutes to achieve the right consistency.
2. Incorporating the Eggs
Next, add the 3 eggs to the creamy mixture. Whisk gently for about 20 seconds after each egg is added. This step is crucial for ensuring that the eggs are well incorporated, contributing to the cake’s fluffy texture.
3. Adding Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, and desiccated coconut. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture. This should be done carefully to maintain the airiness of the batter.
