Tips:

Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the cake. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but make sure to use full-fat coconut milk.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: A preheated oven helps the cake to rise evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Use a variety of toppings: You can top the cake with a variety of toppings, such as shredded coconut, toasted coconut, or fresh fruit.
