  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (8 ounces), at warm room temperature
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• For Decorating:
  • 2 1/2 cups sweetened coconut

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pans

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Pans: Grease the bottoms of three 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with a parchment circle and grease the circle.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

1. Beat Egg Whites: In a bowl, lightly beat the egg whites.
2. Add Coconut Milk and Vanilla: Add 1/2 cup of coconut milk and vanilla extract to the egg whites, whisking to mix well. Set aside.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixer bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed to break up any lumps.

Step 4: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Add Butter and Coconut Milk: Add the butter and 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk to the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
2. Add Egg White Mixture: Gradually add the egg white mixture in 2 or 3 batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

Step 5: Bake the Cakes

1. Divide Batter: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
2. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Assemble the Cake

1. First Layer: Place one layer, flat side up, on an 8-inch cake round. Cover this layer with 1 cup of buttercream, spreading evenly to the edge of the cake. Sprinkle half a cup of grated coconut on top.
2. Repeat Layers: Add the second layer and repeat the process. Place the final layer of cake on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream.

Step 7: Decorate the Cake

1. Prepare Coconut: Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut on a large baking sheet.
2. Press Coconut: Hold the cake in the palm of one hand over the tray and use your other hand to scoop up the coconut, pressing it into the sides of the cake. Continue until the edges of the cake are covered. Place the cake on a serving plate and sprinkle the remaining coconut on top.
3. Refrigerate: Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to allow the icing to firm up slightly.
