80 g grated coconut

1 packet of baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
250 ml water
50–100 g cane sugar

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the batter: In one bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, then slowly stir in the water and finally the grated apples. In another bowl, mix the ground poppy seeds, coconut, baking powder and cinnamon.
Combining the ingredients: Gradually mix both mixtures until a uniform batter forms. If it is too thin, add coconut; if it is too thick, add a little water.
Baking: Line a smaller baking tray with parchment paper and spread the batter evenly on it. If desired, press a few sour cherries into the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for approximately 30–40 minutes.
Finishing: After baking, let the cake cool. You can pour chocolate glaze over it or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar.
