OK, so it's a photo of the dinosaur cake, and you can't actually see the inner cake part.... Oh, well.Oven temp = 350
Coconut cake
3 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut extract
1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time. Add extracts and baking powder and mix well. Alternate between adding flour and coconut milk, in three additions of each. Mix until batter is well combined. Optional - can add 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, though I did not.
Coconut flake frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
6oz (3/4 stick) butter
1 tsp coconut extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
~1/4 cup coconut milk
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Mix together sugar, butter, and extracts. Slowly add coconut milk, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. Mix in flaked coconut.
