Coconut Cake with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, 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 coconut milk and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in the shredded coconut.
-
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the cream cheese frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
-
Serve and enjoy!
