1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, based on your preference)
Step-by-step Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk.
Fold in the shredded coconut gently to evenly spread it in the batter.
Divide and put the batter in the two pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes, then move to a rack to cool completely.
Now that the cakes are cool, it’s time for the fun part. Choose your favorite filling and frosting. A coconut custard or cream cheese frosting will be perfect.
