Using baking spray or butter, coat two cake pans with the batter.
Bake for 26-28 minutes at 350°F, then remove and cool fully on a wire rack.
to dress up the cake
Using the whisk attachment to the electric mixer, beat butter and cheese for 3 minutes.
Mix in the icing sugar and heavy cream for 4-5 minutes.
Place one cake layer on a cake stand.
Using a spoon, smooth a large amount of icing over the top.
Spread the icing over the entire cake and place the second layer of cake on top.
Place the cake stand on a baking dish to add the coconut to the surface and sides of the cake (to help catch the excess coconut).
Fill the cake with coconut by hand and gently press the sides.
Rep till you’ve placed the proper number of coconut and then send it right away.
