Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2
Mix the dry ingredients

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

3
Cream the butter and sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

4
Add the eggs and vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5
Alternate adding dry ingredients and coconut milk

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk, and mix until just combined.

6
Fold in the coconut

Fold in 1 cup of the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

7
Bake the cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.

Prepare the frosting

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in the remaining 1 cup of shredded coconut.
