Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whole milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. 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.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small bowl, combine the shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and heavy cream to make the coconut filling.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the coconut filling evenly over the top. Top with the second cake layer.
9. Optional: Frost the cake with chocolate ganache or buttercream icing.
10. Let the cake rest for 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
