Ingredients

coconut cake

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup butter softened and cubed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (nut milk works, too!)
  • 1 egg at room temp
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes

toppings

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line a 8 or 9 inch cake pan, set aside. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda to a bowl. Stir to mix.
  2. Add cubed butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix for 1-2 minutes until combined.
  3. Add the egg, greek yogurt, and coconut flakes. Mix gently until just combined, and you should have a smooth batter.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and then to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  5. While the cake is cooling, prepare the toppings. Add the heavy cream and sugar to a large bowl and use a hand or stand mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes. Slice the strawberries into fourths.
  6. When the cake is completely cooled, Add the whipped cream on top, then the strawberries. Slice and enjoy!
