Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups coconut cream
  • 1 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups shredded coconut

Equipment

  • Two round cake pans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; mix on medium speed until well combined.
  4. Gradually reduce speed and add the boiling water little by little; the batter will be runny.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each addition.
  8. Add the coconut cream and mix until light and fluffy; fold in the shredded coconut.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of the coconut mixture over it.
  10. Place the second cake layer on top, repeat the process, and cover the entire cake with the remaining filling, decorating with additional shredded coconut.
