Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Cloud Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Gently stir in vanilla extract until well mixed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet batter, alternating with milk, mixing on low until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, filling it up to two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, using a toothpick to check if it comes out clean.
  • After baking, cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Once cool, frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing and a fluffier cake. Don't overmix to preserve the cake's texture.
