Coconut Cake
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups sifted self-rising flour
1 cup coconut milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.

Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy.

Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour.

Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed.

Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level better in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4 inches above counter, then dropping it flat on the counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove first layer and invert onto cake plate. Using the wrong end of a wooden spoon, poke holes approximately 1 inch apart until entire cake has been poked.

Spread 1/3 of filling mixture on cake layer. Top with second layer, repeat process. Top with last layer and repeat process again.

Frost top and sides of cake. Sprinkle top and sides of cake with additional coconut.
