Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream them together until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk, and mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
For an extra touch of holiday spirit, sprinkle some additional shredded coconut on top of the cake before serving.
