Add the sugar and the desiccated coconut and mix in thoroughly with a wooden spoon.", "In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, the milk and the vanilla or almond extract using a wire whisk. Then add to the dry ingredients. With a hand mixer beat the mixture thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth.", "Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top of the dessert is set and golden.", "When the 'cake' is removed from the oven, let it cool for a few moments before releasing the sides of the spring-form pan. Run a knife gently around the sides of the 'cake' to release it, if necessary.", "Now you will see that your 'cake' has a thin pastry crust at the bottom, creamy custard in the middle and coconut on the top, just like a coconut cream tart or flan!", "Serve warm or cold, with whipped cream or ice cream."]
