1/2 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature

3 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • To make the cake: Mix the butter and sugar in an electric mixer until light, fluffy and a pale lemon color, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl.

  • Beat well.
  • Add the final 1/3 of the flour mixture and beat well.

  • Bake until lightly golden and springy on top, about 35 minutes.
  • To make the syrup: Place the coconut milk, coconut and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Lower the heat to low and cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture has thickened a bit, about 4-5 minutes.

  • Prick holes in the layers with a fork and drizzle each layer with the warm coconut syrup.
  • While the cakes are cooling, make (or open) your icing.
  • Spread the frosting on each layer.
  • Re-assemble the cake and frost the outside.
