Making Coconut Cake can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Incorporate Shredded Coconut: Fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut into the wet mixture.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
6. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cakes: Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 20 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar, whipping until stiff peaks form.
10. Assemble Cake: Once the cakes have cooled completely, spread frosting generously on top of one layer before placing the second layer on top.
11. Frost the Top: Frost the top and sides of the cake, then generously sprinkle with additional shredded coconut for a beautiful finish.
