Coconut Coconut Milk Cake
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.

  2. 2

    Beat sugar, butter, and egg yolks together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add shredded coconut.

  3. 3

    Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Stir in the creamed butter mixture, alternating with coconut milk, into the flour mixture until the batter is just combined.

  4. 4

    Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should make soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold the egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
