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

  • 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round baking pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sifted coconut flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Whisk these together until they are well blended and airy.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the melted butter, milk (or coconut milk), and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes frothy and smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the texture light.
  5. Add Shredded Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut evenly throughout the batter for texture and flavor enhancement.
  6. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared baking pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Frost: Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting with whipped cream or additional shredded coconut to finish.

Notes

  • Use either whole milk or coconut milk to enhance the coconut flavor.
  • Make sure to sift the coconut flour to prevent lumps in the batter.
  • For a richer taste, melt the butter before adding to the wet ingredients.
  • Frost the cake with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for best results.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
