Ingredients
- 3 cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment paper, if desired.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated. Beat in vanilla.
4. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating until just combined. Fold in 1 cup of the coconut.
5. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter.
6. Divide batter between prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely.
7. To make the frosting, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in remaining 1 cup of coconut and spread over cooled cakes.
8. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over cake. Serve and enjoy!
