- Creating the Cloud Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, add powdered sugar. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, add vanilla and shredded coconut.
- Assembly and the Final Touch: Place one cake layer on a plate, spread cream filling, add second layer. Whip remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar, spread over cake. Press shredded coconut onto the cake.
