Fluffy Coconut Cream Cake 🤍

1. Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment circles.

2. Dry Ingredients:

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

3. Creaming Butter & Sugar:

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla and coconut extracts.

4. Combining Wet and Dry:

Alternate adding the dry ingredients with the coconut milk and sour cream—starting and ending with the dry mix. Mix until just combined; do not overbeat.

5. Fold in Coconut:

Gently fold in the shredded coconut for texture and flavor.

6. Bake:

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Whipped Cream Frosting:

Beat cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and extract until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use.

8. Assembly:

Place one cake layer on a stand. Spread with whipped cream. Add the second layer and cover the top and sides with remaining cream. Press toasted coconut around the sides and sprinkle on top.
