Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. For the Coconut Frosting:
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the coconut milk, until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
-
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the cake for a beautiful finishing touch.
