1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the butter until creamy, then gradually add the sugar until light and fluffy.
4
Add Eggs and Coconut Milk
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the coconut milk and vanilla extract.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
6
Bake the Cakes
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and 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 before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
