Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups coconut flour, finely sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (or coconut milk)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round baking pans to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder, whisking them together until evenly blended to ensure uniform rising and texture.
  3. Beat Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, melted butter, milk (or coconut milk), and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes frothy, which helps incorporate air for a light texture.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while gently stirring to combine everything just until mixed; avoid overmixing to maintain cake tenderness.
  5. Fold in Shredded Coconut: Fold the shredded coconut evenly into the batter, distributing it thoroughly for consistent flavor and texture throughout the cake.
  6. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  7. Cool and Frost: Allow the cakes to cool completely in their pans before removing. Once cooled, frost with whipped cream or sprinkle additional shredded coconut as desired for extra flavor and decoration.

Notes

  • Using coconut milk instead of whole milk adds extra coconut flavor and makes the cake dairy-free if using dairy-free butter.
  • Ensure the coconut flour is finely sifted to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth batter.
  • The texture of the cake is sensitive to overmixing; mix just until combined to keep it tender.
  • For a richer frosting, consider using coconut cream or cream cheese-based frosting.
  • This cake is naturally gluten-free due to the use of coconut flour.
