Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 0.25 cups Orange juice
- 0.5 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the orange juice and coconut milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut gently using a silicone spatula or spoon.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
