Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect buttermilk texture, mix 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar with 1 cup of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, toast the coconut flakes in a pan over medium heat until golden brown.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • To ensure even baking, place the cake pan in the center of the oven.
  • To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, whip the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
  • To decorate the cake, sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes or fresh raspberries on top.
