500 gr sugar

1 grated coconut (800 gr)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 tablespoon of unsalted butter

Sift the yolks and eggs. Mix the sugar and the eggs. Add the vanilla extract, the butter (melted) and the coconut. Mix well. Put in a 23-26 cm  ring cake pan ( or a round pan). Let it rest for half an hour, 45 minutes 

(TIP 1- the longer it rests, the better)

Put the baking pan it to the pre heated oven 180o in whater bath/bain marie till it gets steady/firm and golden (30 min to 40 min).
