  2. 2 Sift the flour through a fine sieve to remove any lumps.
  3. 3 Mix the flour with powdered sugar, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt until the dough is evenly moist; then shape it into a ball.
  4. 4 Press the dough firmly into the patterned mold, then gently tap to remove the cake.
  5. 5 Leave the cakes in a well-ventilated area for a few hours to firm up the surface, then store them in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing moisture.
