Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Add the coconut milk, lime zest, and lime juice to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the coconut cream and powdered sugar until thick and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of coconut cream on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and coconut cream.
-
Garnish with lime slices, if desired. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
