Directions

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.

Step

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step

In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.

Step

Stir in the coconut extract and fold in the shredded coconut.

Step

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.

Step

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating together the softened butter, powdered sugar, coconut milk, and coconut extract until smooth and creamy.

Step

Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost each layer with the coconut frosting, and then cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.

Step

Garnish the cake with toasted shredded coconut for a finishing touch.

Tips for this recipe

Toasting the shredded coconut for the garnish enhances its flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Simply spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
