03 - In a large bowl, combine nut-milk pulp, sugar, melted coconut oil (or butter), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency.

06 - Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges with a few moist crumbs.
