Method
Base
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cream butter
In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Combine mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Frosting
Prepare frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.
Garnish
Assemble the cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then add the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
Add garnish
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the frosting for decoration.
