Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the shredded coconut, cream cheese, and sugar until combined.
- Add in the coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
Notes
For the best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days—if they last that long!
