NOTES

  1. For a small cake, you can halve the recipe. In that case, you’ll need less time of baking (5-10 min.) and a smaller baking pan.
  2. If you want to skip grated coconut, replace it with equal quantity of flour.
  3. How to make caramelized almond:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place whole almonds in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir constantly for 5 minutes. Add sugar and continue stirring until completely melted. Remove pan from heat once the almonds are fully covered with melted sugar. Pour mixture onto the parchment paper and quickly spread out as much as possible using a spatula. Let almonds cool completely and then break whether using a rolling pin on top of a parchment paper or with a multi-cutter.
