This moist and fluffy cake is a coconut lover’s dream, perfect for celebrations or as a delightful treat.

Ingredients:
For the Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup coconut milk
Optional Garnishes:
1 cup shredded coconut (toasted or plain)
Coconut frosting or whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.

4. Add Eggs and Extracts:

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in the vanilla extract and coconut extract.

5. Alternate Dry Ingredients and Coconut Milk:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the coconut milk in two additions. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. Bake the Cake:

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Frosting and Assembly:

Frost the Cake:

Frost the cooled cake with coconut frosting or whipped cream. Spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides.

Garnish:

Sprinkle the cake with shredded coconut, pressing it gently into the frosting for a decorative touch.

Serve:

Slice and enjoy this luscious, cloud-like coconut cake!
