Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and dust with 1 tablespoon of flour.
2.In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
3.In a large bowl, beat 1 2/3 cups of sugar and 1/3 cup of softened butter until creamy. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the coconut milk, and mix until well combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla and 1/3 cup of flaked coconut.
4.In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar and a dash of salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and continue beating until the mixture becomes glossy and forms stiff peaks. Mix in 4 tablespoons of hot water, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon of coconut extract.
5.Fold the egg white mixture gently into the cake batter until well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes completely on a wire rack before frosting.
6.To make the frosting, beat 1 cup of heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/2 cup of sweetened flaked coconut. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake layers and garnish with the remaining 1/3 cup of sweetened flaked coconut.
