Ingredients
- Sugar: Adds sweetness to balance the creamy layers and gives the cake its rich flavor.
- Cake Flour: For a light, airy texture that makes the cake incredibly soft.
- Eggs: Help the cake rise and stay light, adding richness to the flavor.
- Butter: Provides moisture and tenderness, making the cake rich and creamy.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, aromatic flavor that elevates the cake.
- Whipping Cream: The secret to the cake’s dreamy, cloud-like texture.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Provides a melt-in-your-mouth texture and extra sweetness.
- Coconut Flakes: Adds chewiness and a burst of tropical flavor to finish off the cake.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cake pans by greasing them lightly and lining with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the cake flour and gently fold into the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Prepare the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
- Make the Creamy Layers: While the cake is cooling, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and coconut flakes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk and coconut mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, layer them with the creamy filling. Spread a generous amount of the creamy coconut mixture between each layer of cake.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with extra coconut flakes if desired.
Notes
- This cake is best when chilled for a few hours, allowing the creamy layers to set.
- Feel free to top the cake with extra whipped cream or coconut flakes for added texture.
- If you’re looking for a more tropical twist, you can add a little pineapple to the cream mixture for extra flavor.
