Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a square mold or line it with baking paper; This way you can easily remove it when cooked.
Beat the oil and sugar.
Mix butter and margarine with granulated sugar in a bowl for 1–2 minutes. It is enough for the mixture to be completely smooth.
Add liquids
Add the egg and beat briefly. Then add the milk. If you're going to use orange zest, add it now.
Mix dry ingredients
Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Then add this mixture to the dough; Mix just until combined, without over-beating.
Add coconut
Add grated coconut and mix from bottom to top with a spatula. The dough will have a fluid, cake-like consistency.
Bake
Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes; When the toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, take it out of the oven.
Cool and cut into squares
Let it rest in the mold for 10 minutes, then cool completely. Then cut it into square slices and serve.
