Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: coconut milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the shredded coconut into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.
  • Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cake bakes, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, dollop the whipped cream on top and serve.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven's performance.
