Baking Instructions

1

Preheat the Oven

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

2

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut.

3

Cream Butter and Sugar

In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until well combined.

4

Add Eggs and Vanilla

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

5

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Mix until just combined.

6

Bake the Cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7

Cool the Cakes

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8

Prepare Whipped Cream

In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

9

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread whipped cream on top, add berries, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top with more whipped cream and garnish with additional berries.
