Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as this can cause the cakes to dry out

While the cakes are baking, prepare the whipped cream frosting. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can cause the cream to become grainy.

How to Make
To make a Coconut Cream Dream Cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing and flouring two 9-inch round cake pans. This ensures that the cakes do not stick and bake evenly.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture provides the structure and leavening for the cake.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and light cake.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures that the eggs are fully incorporated and helps to create a smooth and cohesive batter.

Mix in the vanilla and coconut extracts, which add wonderful aromas and enhance the overall flavor of the cake.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense texture.
