rubyslippers - It smelt like sweet coconut goodness while it was cooking. I ate some warm and it was tasty. Tried some today cold from the fridge (thinking it couldn't taste better than last night) and it was delicious. I made it into 20 slices and there is no way I could eat more than two slices at a time so some has gone into the freezer.
For those lazier/distracted cooks (my baby decided to start screaming at my feet while I was preparing this) - I did not sift flour or butter & flour the baking paper and it still turned out great. I also only used 300 ml cream and 125 g coconut.
This could be nice with a drizzle of liquor (coconut or other) on top - or maybe it's just been too long between drinks for me.
Thanks isi!

looks lovely isi, i can see why your mother is not able to control herself ;D ;D
-
I think I am in <3 with this cake and I haven't even made/smelt/tasted it yet! lol
-
This sounds like utter decadence.
-
This looks wonderful Isi.I liked the idea of using clothes pegs to hold back the baking parchment so you can pour in your cake batter.Another great recipe to try. :)

If by some miracle this didn't get eaten right away, could you freeze some do you think?
-
I have never seen a cake put together like this - it looks so lovely and moist isi.

I ended up making this last night (DH went to the shop for me to get the missing ingredients <3).

Good work Isi - really does look yummy and so easy - thanks for getting back on board. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

OK, so it lasted a total of 4 days till it was all gone. Not sure if that's good or bad?
-
LOL - bad in our house, but then you have many more mouths to feed. :-*

Thanks for all the comments!
I was away for 4 days in the south of Portugal with my kids - so just now I had a chance to coment!! ;)

This cake is really wonderful-never really got to freeze and have no idea if it really is appropriate because of fresh cream.
One feature is fantastic when you're cooking exudes a wonderful aroma throughout the house!

Isi, love the recipe and the photo. Where is the beach? Does it have a name.?
-
Isi - I'm so jealous. It's meant to be summer here but it is wet and cold. Looks like you've had all the sun ;D ;D
-
Yes we are really very lucky here!
In the moment we have beautiful temperatures with great blue sky.
The only problems are so many fires in our florests - it is a shame.....
I live at a beautiful Bay called S. Martinho do Porto in Portugal Center

Regards and sunshine to everyone
