Mae'r gacen hon yn amhosib gan fod y cynhwysion i gyd yn cael eu cyfuno ond pan mae'r gacen yn pobi mae'r crystyn yn gwahanu i'r gwaelod, y cwstad i'r canol a'r cnau coco yn dod i ben y pwdin. Ac mae'n gweithio bob tro!

English Translation

This cake is 'impossible' as, though all the ingredients are combined together into one mixture, as the cake bakes the crust separates to the bottom, the custard sets in the middle and the grated coconut floats to the top. And it works each and every time!

Ingredients:

4 eggs
50g butter
180g granulated sugar
75g plain flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
480ml milk
140g desiccated coconut
1 tsp vanilla extract


Method:

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. Cube the butter and add to the flour mix before rubbing in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and the desiccated coconut and mix in thoroughly.

In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, the milk and the vanilla extract then add this to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth then pour into a 25cm dish that's been well greased with butter.

Place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the top of the dessert is golden. You will see when you remove it from the oven that the curst is on the bottom, the custard has set in the middle and the coconut is on the top!

Serve immediately with cream.
