Let’s Start Baking!

● Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees.

● Meanwhile, grease and flours your 3 8-inch baking pans. If not 2 8-inch baking pans would do.

● Once done, heat the coconut milk, but don’t let it boil. Cut white chocolate into tiny bits and put it into this coconut milk. Let the white chocolate melt a bit, then stir it until fully smooth and melted. Set it aside for a while to cool down.

● Now take a mixing bowl and pour flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk all these ingredients together for about 30 seconds and set aside.

● Now take the mixer attachment and mix the butter in it until smooth. Then add sugar slowly and whisk it on medium speed for about 5 minutes or so. Let the batter become light and fluffy.

● Further, add eggs, vanilla extract and coconut extracts. Mix well until well combined.

● Now pour the flour mixture into the chocolate batter, alternating one another and mixing them simultaneously.

● Make sure you don’t overmix the batter. Now pour the batter into the already prepared baking pans equally.

● Bake at 325 for 22-25 minutes. Check its doneness by taking the toothpick or skewer test. If any one of these things comes out clean when poked into the cake, then your cake is ready.

● Let the cake cool down completely before you start frosting it. Place it in a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

● Now for the frosting, cut the white chocolate bar into tiny bits.

● Put it in a microwave-safe bowl for about 15 seconds and add 3 Tablespoons of milk.

● Take the bowl out and let it cool for a bit. Add softened butter and cream cheese to it.

● At medium speed, now whisk all these bowl ingredients together until smooth and fluffy. Now add white chocolate mixture and coconut extracts until combined.

● At low speed, gradually add until well combined.

● Refrigerate it for a while, then use it to smear on top of your white chocolate cake.

● Put this frosting between the layers, on its top and also on its sides. Press the shredded coconut covering the entire cake.

● Your white chocolate coconut cake is ready.
