INGREDIENTS
- 180 g “0” flour (or 90g flour 0 + 90g whole wheat flour)
- 100 g grated coconut (dehydrated “okay” but if it was fresh “better”)
- 130 ml coconut milk
- 150 g cane sugar (Demerara type)
- 3 eggs
- 100 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 average untreated lemon
- 1 sachet of yeast or cremortaro
- seeds of 1 vanilla bean (absolutely optional as long as not replaced with vanillin)
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 pinch of salt
To garnish with Coulis of raspberries:
- 500 g of raspberries
- 20 g of cane sugar
- 50 ml of water
METHOD
Wash the lemon well and grate only the yellow part of the peel, then remove the seeds and put aside the zest and juice.
Break the eggs into a bowl and set these aside.
Mix half of the sugar with the coconut until it is powdered (even coarse), then add turmeric, flour, yeast, vanilla seeds (if you use it), salt and stir until the powders are homogeneous (a couple of minutes).
Release the robot without cleaning it and put the powders in a large bowl. In the robot put the other half of the sugar, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice and operate until it mounts. Now with the robot at least add the eggs one at a time, coconut milk and lemon peel. Pour over the powder into the bowl and mix gently.
Pour the mixture into a non-stick oiled plumcake pan. Bake in a hot oven for about 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven after making the “toothpick test” in the center, leave in a pan for 5 minutes then remove from the oven and put to cool and dry on a cake rack for at least 20 minutes.
Preparation of the coulis.
In a saucepan blend everything with a Minipimer and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat turning occasionally. Pass everything in a strainer, pressing well with the back of a spoon.
