In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and heavy cream to make the coconut filling.
