Prepare for Baking
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Grease a 26cm (10-inch) round baking dish or cake pan thoroughly with oil or butter.
Make the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, vegetable oil, and sugar. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract to the mixture.
- Add the flour in two parts: first add 1 cup of flour and mix until just combined, then add the remaining cup of flour along with the baking powder.
- Gradually pour in the milk while mixing to create a smooth batter.
- Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon each of shredded coconut and ground pistachios for added texture and visual appeal.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing or serving directly from the baking dish.
