    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour or line a baking pan with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, crumble together the flour, butter, powdered sugar, and baking powder. Add the egg yolks and knead until a smooth dough forms.

    3

    Roll out the dough and evenly spread it in the baking pan. Pre-bake for 10 minutes to create a firm base.

    4

    For the meringue, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form.

    5

    Gently fold the shredded coconut into the meringue, being careful not to deflate it.

    6

    Spread the coconut meringue evenly over the pre-baked crust, then return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.

    7

    Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Tip: Dust with powdered sugar for an even more appealing presentation.
