Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla extract.
5
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6
Stir in the shredded coconut and buttermilk until well combined.
7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
8
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
9
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
