This cake is amazing! It is so tasty and moist you would never guess I got it from a Cooking Light magazine
Enjoy!
Double Coconut Cake
Cooking spray
One Tablespoon cake flour
Two ¼ cups sifted cake flour
2-¼ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/3-cup butter, softened
Two large eggs
1 (14 ounce) can light coconut milk
1-tablespoon vanilla extract
Fluffy coconut frosting
2/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat two (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray; dust with one Tablespoon flour.
Combine 2 ¼ cups flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk. Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (for about 5 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla.
Pour batter into prepared pans. Sharply tap the pans once on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes on wire racks, and remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks.
Place one cake layer on a plate; spread with 1 cup fluffy coconut frosting. Sprinkle with 1/3-cup coconut. Top with remaining cake layer, spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle 1/3-cup coconut over top of cake. Store cake loosely covered in the refrigerator. Yield: 14 servings.
Fluffy Coconut Frosting
Four large egg whites
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Dash of salt
1-cup sugar
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon coconut extract
Place egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl and beat with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook. Without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 238 degrees. Pour hot sugar syrup in a thin stream over egg whites, beating at high speed. Stir in extracts. Yield: about 4 cups

Oh wow. This looks great!! Just found coconuts for 99 cents each and bought some, cleaned them, shredded the coconut and made a coconut pie, but I have been dying for a cake and this looks like it will really fit the bill. Thanks so much!!!
