Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (toasted or fresh)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and coconut extracts.
  3. Alternate adding dry ingredients and coconut milk to the butter mixture until combined.
  4. Pour batter into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pans.
  5. For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into cream cheese mixture.
  6. Layer cakes with frosting in between, covering the top and sides with remaining frosting. Press shredded coconut onto the frosting and chill for at least an hour before serving.
