Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this Coconut Cloud Cake! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I like to grease my cake pans with a little butter and then line the bottoms with parchment paper to ensure the cake comes out perfectly every time. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, add the softened butter and coconut milk, mixing until you have a smooth batter. It’s a good idea to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to incorporate everything well. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
