Ingredients

All-purpose flour

Baking powder

Baking soda

Salt

Unsalted butter

Granulated sugar

Egg whites

Coconut milk

Vanilla extract

Coconut extract

Heavy whipping cream

Powdered sugar

Shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing them.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and coconut extract if using.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form.
Frost the cooled cakes with the whipped cream and top with lightly toasted shredded coconut.

Notes

Ensure that no egg yolk mixes with the egg whites for optimal fluffiness. Toast the shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
