    This is the ultimate recipe for coconut cake! It's rich, boldly
    flavorful, and very easy to make.

    Cake:

    Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans.

    Preheat the oven to 350?F/180?C.

    In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the coconut milk and vinegar. Let
    this sit while you prepare the cake batter, until slightly curdled.

    Whisk together the sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl
    until combined.Add milk mixture, melted butter, and vanilla and
    coconut extracts. Stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.

    Fold in the coconut shreds.

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap on the counter three times
    lightly to remove any air bubbles.

    Bake in the center of the oven for 28 to 33 minutes, until set in the
    center and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan.

    Once fully cooled, frost with buttercream frosting and shredded
    coconut.

    Frosting:

    Beat the butter, cream cheese, and coconut extract for about 2 to 3
    minutes with a stand mixer or a handheld mixer, until fluffy.

    Add 1 cup of powdered sugar. Fold it in with a spatula so it doesn't
    fly everywhere, then beat for about 1 minute. Add the rest of the
    powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until fully incorporated.

    Add in a 1/2 tb of coconut milk at a time until it reaches your
    preferred volume and consistency. It should be thick and spreadable,
    not too soft or runny.

    Beat for about 5 minutes, using the spatula to scrape down the sides
    regularly, until the frosting is fluffy, white, smooth, and creamy.
