- Powdered Sugar - 22.6 oz
- Milk - 12 fl oz

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 392°F. Take a baking pan (approximately 24 cm in diameter) and grease it with oil.
Step 2
To prepare the cake, in a large bowl, mix 440 g of powdered sugar, eggs, oil, and milk and beat until smooth. Sift the flour and mix it with the baking powder, then combine with the mixture, mixing well. Next, add the shredded coconut, mix again, and pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes until golden brown. To double-check for doneness, you can poke the cake with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Step 3
Meanwhile, to make the syrup, pour the orange and lemon juice into a small saucepan, add the remaining powdered sugar, and cook over medium heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking for 4 minutes until the syrup thickens. At the end, add the rose water.
Step 4
When the cake is ready, evenly soak it with 3/4 of the syrup.
Step 5
When serving, the pieces can be garnished with orange slices, coconut, and the remaining syrup.
