Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk preferably full-fat
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar for macerating the strawberries
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream optional for serving

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour eight 4-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, coconut flakes, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and coconut milk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Topping
  1. While the cakes are baking, prepare the strawberries. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
  2. Once the cakes are baked, allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Assemble the Cakes
  1. Once the cakes are completely cool, layer them with the macerated strawberries.
  2. Top with whipped cream if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a more intense coconut flavor, you can replace some of the milk with coconut cream. Make sure the cakes are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting the whipped cream.
