  • I can remember my grandmother making Toto in the late 1940s at her “take out food” shop.
    Also, at my High School in Kingston, toto was the most popular treat at our morning breaks. All
    the important ingredients were easily available in Jamaica (except for imported flour). Toto
    goes great with a glass of milk , with a cup of tea / coffee, as desert or a snack. If you like
    coconut, you’ll love Jamaican Toto.
    INGREDIENTS
    DRY Ingredients
    3 Cups Flour; 1 Tbsp Baking Powder ; 1 Tsp Baking Soda ; 1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger ; 1/2 Tsp Salt ;
    1/2 Tsp Allspice or Mixed Spice ; 1/2 Tsp Nutmeg ; 1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar ; 1 1/2 Cups Freshly
    Grated Coconut OR Buy Desiccated Coconut.
    Wet Ingredients
    2 Cups Fresh Coconut Milk or Buy in Supermarket ; 2 Eggs OR Flax Egg is Vegan ; 1/2 Cup Melted
    Coconut Oil OR Butter ; 1 Tsp Vanilla ; 1 Tbsp Jamaican White Rum
    Preheat oven to 350F and cook for 1 Hour
    Makes one 12”X 8” Pan TOTO

    I lived in England until I was 15. My mother is from Clarendon Jamaica. So she would make Toto, cornmeal pudding, and sweet potato pudding! I am so familiar with Jamaican food! It’s all I know. Love your recipe.

    Thank you for giving us this recipe. It is very detailed and that helps a lot. Secondly, this is delicious! It is not overly sweet and the spices in there really bring a rich aroma and taste. When you eat it, the notes of the nutmeg, ginger, and coconut harmonize perfectly on the palate. It is light but moist. My husband added a cream cheese icing infused with the grated coconut. I used it as a dip for my toto bread, with a glass of milk, and omg! Again, thank you for this tasty recipe sir.

    Really great demonstration, however in keeping with making the process safe, I'd advise to lay coconut on a flat surface when shelling.

    Everytime I use baking soda in any of my cake recipes, they are ruined; all we taste is baking soda. Does anyone else find this to be the case?
