Servings: 10 slices
Estimated Points: 2–3 points per slice (depending on WW plan and sweetener brand)

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs, room temperature

  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (from a carton, not canned)

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Optional Coconut Topping:

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, lightly toasted

  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined — do not overmix.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.

  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. Cool completely in the pan, then remove and sprinkle with toasted coconut or powdered sweetener if desired.
