🍳 How to cook (12 servings):

Cooking Time: 30 minutesPreperation Time: 30 minutes

Preparation

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

Cake Batter

Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut.

Baking

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.

Assembly

Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake. Finish by coating the sides with shredded coconut and optionally topping with a coconut truffle.
