2 ½ cups (350g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon (7.5g) baking powder
1 teaspoon (4.5g) baking soda
1 teaspoon (5g) salt
1 tablespoon (15ml) coconut extract
1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup (315ml) coconut milk, well stirred
For the filling:
1 ¼ cup (296ml) heavy whipping cream, divided
4 teaspoons (13g) cornstarch

2 ¼ cups (170g) shredded coconut, sweetened
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups (390g) powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS :
For the cake:
🔸 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare three 8-inch round baking pans, line the bottom with parchment paper, and grease the sides. Prepare your bake even stripes if desired.
🔸 In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Alternate adding half the dry ingredients, the extracts, and half the coconut milk at a time and mix just until the flour starts to incorporate. Repeat until all ingredients have been added. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir the batter from the bottom to the top to ensure it’s well mixed.
