COCONUT CAKE (recipe below) 🥥🎂 this cake is so moist and fluffy, has just the right amount of coconut flavor, and is a year-round favorite at my house! I paired it with Coconut Cream Cheese Buttercream for Easter and also use it as the base of the Almond Joy Cake on pg. 177 of my book 😍 ⁣ ⁣ COCONUT CAKE⁣ YIELD: 3 6-inch layers or 2 8-inch layers⁣ ⁣ INGREDIENTS: ⁣ 3 Cups (315g) sifted cake flour⁣ 2 tsp baking powder⁣ 1/2 tsp baking soda⁣ 1 tsp salt⁣ 1 Cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature⁣ 1 1/2 Cups (300g) granulated sugar⁣ 5 large egg whites, room temperature⁣ 1/3 Cup (76g) sour cream, room temperature⁣ 2 tsp pure vanilla extract⁣ 1 tsp coconut extract⁣ 1 Cup (240ml) canned full-fat coconut milk, room temperature⁣ 1 Cup (78g) shredded sweetened coconut⁣ ⁣ INSTRUCTIONS:⁣ 1.
