  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the coconut milk, melted butter and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix just enough to form a smooth batter, without overworking it.
  5. Fold in the grated coconut, pour into the tin and bake for 25 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Let it cool slightly before turning out and cutting into squares.
