Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (full fat)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the Coconut Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

    • Topping:

    • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
  2. Add coconut milk, coconut oil, sugar, vinegar, and vanilla directly to the bowl. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between pans and smooth the tops.
  4. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.
  5. For frosting, beat vegan butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Frost the cooled cake layers and cover the entire cake with toasted coconut flakes. Chill briefly before serving for clean slicing.
