Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C)
- Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift the cake flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream 1.5 sticks of butter with the coconut oil, sugar, salt, and cardamom at medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat the eggs in, one at a time, until incorporated. At low speed, mix in the flour mixture and buttermilk in 3 alternating batches, starting and ending with the flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the cakes are deep golden and springy.
- Transfer the cakes to a rack and cool 5-10 minutes in the pan then turn the layers out onto the cooling racks, remove the parchment, and allow to cool completely.
- Cut each cake in half horizontally to create 4 layers.
- To make the frosting: In a large saucepan, boil the sugar, honey and 3/4 c of water over moderately high heat until the syrup registers 240°F (115°C).
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy then beat in the salt and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. With the mixer on, carefully drizzle the hot syrup down the side of the bowl. Once all of the syrup has been added, beat the frosting at high speed until shiny and thick, 11 minutes. Allow the frosting to cool.
- Frosting the Cake: Set a cake layer cut side up on a plate. Spread 1/2 cup of the frosting over the top; repeat with two more layers.
- Top with the last layer then coat the cake with the remaining frosting. Coat with the flaked coconut. Coconut can be toasted, if desired, before covering the cake.

Steps:
- For the cake: Position racks in the middle and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter three 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment, dust with flour and tap out the excess. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and cream of coconut in a small bowl. Beat the butter and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in the vanilla and coconut extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, until combined.
- Beat the egg whites and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl with clean beaters on medium-high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the batter in three batches until just combined (do not overmix). Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cakes are lightly browned and the centers spring back when lightly pressed, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 20 minutes in the pans, then run a small knife around the edges of each cake and carefully invert onto the racks; remove the parchment and let cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in about half of the confectioners' sugar until combined. Add the remaining confectioners' sugar, salt and vanilla and coconut extracts and beat until combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and continue beating, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Place one cake layer on a cake stand or platter and top with a heaping 2/3 cup frosting. Add another cake layer, more frosting and the last cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Sprinkle the coconut all over the top and sides of the cake, gently pressing to adhere.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray three 8-inch cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides as needed to make sure everything is getting incorporated.
- In the liquid measuring cup the coconut milk is measured in, stir in the vanilla and coconut extracts. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Add half of the coconut milk and mix. Continue this way until the flour and coconut milk are all added and combined. Divide the mixture among the three cake pans (use an ice cream scoop to ensure you evenly divide the batter) and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to remove from the pans. Let cool completely before frosting.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, cream together the cream cheese and sugar. It will seem gritty but that's ok. Turn on low speed and slowly stream in the heavy cream. It is going to seem weird and soupy, but then magically the cream will melt the sugars and whip and you'll have beautiful cream cheese frosting. Just mix slowly until this happens, 2 to 3 minutes.
- To frost and decorate the cake: Level the layers if the center is domed. Add a small amount of frosting to your cake plate or cutting board and add the first layer, cut side down. This will ensure the cake stays anchored to the board. Add a large dollop, or about a quarter of the frosting, to one layer of cake and distribute evenly all the way to the edges. Add the second layer and another quarter of frosting. Add the third layer. Frost the top and then the sides of the entire cake with the remaining half of frosting. Press the coconut to the sides and top.
- Now you are ready to enjoy a huge slice with cup of coffee or tea.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350, and line a 6" round cake pan with 2" sides with parchment paper on the bottom. Give everything a spritz with a coconut oil cooking spray, just to be safe. Have ingredients for cake ready to go, and reserve the ingredients for the frosting on the side.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter, coconut oil and sugar until creamy, 1 minute.
- Add the coconut extract and egg and beat until combined.
- Sprinkle the flour, salt, baking soda, and coconut flakes evenly over the top.
- Start to beat everything together while streaming in the coconut milk.
- Beat until fully combined (but be careful not to over-mix).
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan, place the pan on a small baking sheet, and bake for 36-38 minutes.
- Use a toothpick to ensure it's done. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack, and when it's cool enough to touch, dump it out and peel off the parchment paper. .
- To make the frosting: beat together the butter, coconut oil and cream cheese.
- Start adding the powdered sugar while beating slowly.
- Toast the coconut: place it in a dry skillet and stir frequently over low heat until it's nicely browned. I like it almost crispy, because it will soak in the frosting and soften again. Beat the toasted coconut into the frosting. You can also use untoasted coconut, if you prefer. Frost the cake and serve.

SIX-LAYER COCONUT CAKE WITH LEMON FILLING
I found this recipe when going through my grandmother's old files. It was originally made with an orange filling, but using lemon pudding in the filling makes it easier to prepare. It is simply the best. -Angela Leinenbach, Mechanicsvlle, Virginia
