How To Make Coconut Sugar Cakes.

How to make Caribbean style coconut sugar cake, using a traditional recipe form Trinidad and Tobago. Using grated or dessicated coconut, flavored with ginger, bay leaves and and essence, this wonderful Caribbean coconut treat is a wonderful dessert or snack for the kids.

[@ksali9508]

I remember making these and putting them to dry on banana leaves... Wow. I feel old... Here's a little tip, though: Leave the essence, vanilla, extracts, whatever, till the end. Add it just a couple minutes before it's done. You'll get a much stronger flavour and aroma.

Thank God for Caribbean men that can cook!

Hey there Chris, I have been watching a few of your videos and just wanted to let you know that I really do appreciate your videos as they bring back allot of memories of when our mom used to cook for us, this was back when we used to live in Tobago, we left there in 1979 and moved to California , I miss allot of your different recipes as our mom made them for us... Thank you Chris, You Rock, Rory D.

Adapted this recipe with vanilla essence and Angostura Bitters. Came out better than expected! The ginger really helps the Bitters not stand out. Gonna serve the snack to my Japanese co-workers tomorrow. Thanks for the demonstration! 👍

These traditional classics beat these modern day machine made sweets by a looooong shot. Simple but so much more flavour and delight.. This one takes me back to primary school days when you used to hide and eat behind the desk then put on a straight face for de teacher. The one and only sugar cake.

[@vanessam1590]

So yummy!!!

[@marcellecrichlowmoore8866]

I am totally bajan tried recipe it turned out wonderful

[@wharwood]

Thanks. I tried it a couple times. It works well, but I had to increase the water a bit and not reduce the sugar as much to keep it from being just crumbles in the end. Also, instead of mixed essence, I used vanilla, lime, and a bit of orange liqueur. It's not orthodox I know but it still brings back the memories and it tastes really good.

[@donnabuckmire4995]

Awesome!!!

[@natachapp.3656]

Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!!!

[@Spanishpac]

If you use fresh coconut, would you still need to add water? I'm wondering because I want to add ginger (and possibly bay leaves). Thanks!

[@sunnylion2660]

Hi Chris! Can I use bagged coconut or does it have to be fresh? I'd also like to make about 100 sugar cakes the circumference of a chips ahoy cookie. How many batches of the recipe do you think I'll need? Thanks!

[@sonialashley8798]

Reminds me of home

[@NDWest]

Hey Chris, what about Orange / Rose water? Would that be put in the boiling syrup or drizzled on them while setting? I'd appreciate your feedback, thanks!

[@thatchick622]
