Coconut Sugar Cake/Grater Cake: St Vincent/Caribbean

Subscribe for more videos.
Putting the coconut sugar cake on a banana leaf to set is a custom in the Caribbean. Also, you can leave them to set in a greased baking pan or dish, or on a greased wax paper.
Make sure there are no liquid remaining in the coconut sugar cake. It will not set.
Add more sugar if your coconut is not forming or holding together.
Recipe
2 cups of water
3 cups of grated coconut (use the larger shredding holes on the grater)
3 cups of brown sugar (use 2.5 cups of sugar if you prefer. If it is not coming together, add 1/2 cup or more)
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoons of grated ginger(more or less if you prefer)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ground nut sugar cake

I bypassed all the other sugar cake recipes, as I saw the brown sugar cake and the fig leaves I clicked, because I know this is the real authentic old time correct way. Thank you 😊 and blessings

At 3:57 and onward you can start to add your coloring to it. Also you can seperate it if you want to add different colors and mix it well.

[@leviniarolle9857]

Just found your video 👌does it make a difference with dark brown sugar or light brown sugar

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

No, you can use white sugar as well. Make sure you put enough sugar so they can form. If if not forming put more sugar.

[@nulmahooper2193]

🤤😍

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

😊😋

[@diandraquammie4542]

I could add more sugar after i put in all the ingredients?

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

Yes, if yours are not forming, you put in more sugar.

[@MrsGracieRogers]

What was the final ingredient you added at the very end?

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

It's vanilla extract!

[@rosalieveira8879]

We boil the coconut first for at least 3 min..then you add the sugar and other😊

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

Ok nice!

[@mindylove542]

About how long the coconut take to cook??

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

So sorry I didn't check the duration, but cook it until it start coming in and clumping. No hard at all!

[@Klix_1]

How long does it take to dry

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

I didn't check the miniutes, but I remembered it took a short time. They do not take a long time it dry. If yours do not dry fast, it needs more sugar to come in or need more cooking time.

[@diandraquammie4542]

Hi, can you add cream of tartar to this

[@samsgiftedhands3998]

I do not think so! I've never heard they use it in it growing up.
