Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Coconut milk Full fat preferred
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut For topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture alternating with coconut milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in pans before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Frost cake with your favorite coconut frosting and sprinkle shredded coconut on top before serving.

Notes

Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
