- Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans
- In a bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
2️⃣ Make the Batter
- In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes)
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each
- Mix in vanilla and coconut extract
- Add dry ingredients gradually, alternating with:
- Coconut milk
- Regular milk
👉 Start and end with dry ingredients for best texture
3️⃣ Bake
- Divide batter evenly into pans
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Let cakes cool completely
4️⃣ Prepare the Creamy Soak
Mix together:
- Coconut milk
- Condensed milk
- Heavy cream
👉 This is what makes the cake ultra-moist and “creamy”
5️⃣ Soak the Cake
- Poke small holes in each cake layer
- Slowly pour the coconut mixture over the layers
- Let it absorb fully (very important step!)
6️⃣ Make the Frosting
- Beat heavy cream + powdered sugar + vanilla until soft peaks form
