How to make Coconut Worm Cake

Mix the cake batter
First, you add 200g of tapioca flour, 50g of wheat flour, and 60g of sugar into a large bowl and mix well with a whisk. To enhance the aroma and rich flavor of the cake, add all 20g of coconut powder to the mixture.

Mix the batter evenly for about 7 – 10 minutes until the cake batter is smooth and no longer sticks to your hands.
