Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Frosting

For the frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, add coconut flavoring or coconut milk to taste.
