In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the eggs, coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the batter is smooth and well-combined.

Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring the batter continuously. The batter will be thin but that's okay.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one cake layer on a serving plate.
-
Spread a generous layer of chocolate frosting on top of the cake layer.
-
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate frosting.
-
Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut on top of the cake for a lovely finishing touch.
