Ultimate Coconut Cake II
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted 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 cake 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 remove from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream with the powdered sugar and coconut extract until stiff peaks form.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread with a layer of whipped cream. Top with the second cake layer and frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
-
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
