Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three 8-inch round cake pans.
Whisk together dry ingredients: cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg whites, vanilla extract, and coconut extract, mixing well after each addition.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and wet ingredients (coconut milk, buttermilk) to the batter.
Divide batter among prepared pans, bake for 23-26 minutes, and check for doneness.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Whip cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form; fold in shredded coconut for filling.
Beat softened butter and powdered sugar for frosting; mix in coconut extract and salt, adjusting with coconut milk as needed for consistency.
Layer cake with coconut cream filling, then frost the outside and top with remaining frosting and shredded coconut.

Notes

Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better texture.
Avoid overmixing the batter after adding flour to maintain fluffiness.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
