Tips
- To ensure your cake has a fine crumb, make sure to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy before adding the eggs.
- Use high-quality unsweetened coconut flakes for the best flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the powdered sugar and coconut extract.
- You can decorate the cake with additional coconut flakes, toasted coconut, or fresh fruit.
