Grease (and flour if you wish) three nine (9) inch round pans. Mix  flour with baking powder and 1\/2 tsp. salt. In a large bowl, mixed at high speed beat  the butter and 2 C. of sugar until light. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, and beat after each  time you add one. Continue beating, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber scraper,  until fluffy for about 2 minutes. At low speed, beat in flour mixture, in fourths alternating  with milk (in thirds) beginning and ending with the flour mix. Add vanilla. Beat until just  smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into prepared pans, and bake for 25-30 minute., or until  surface springs back when lightly touched. Cool pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.  Remove from pans and cool thoroughly.  Prepare the filling: Simply whip the cream, adding the sugar and vanilla, and keep cool  until the cake has cooled completely.  Make the frosting: Cream the cream cheese and sugar together, (both should be soft),  then add the sugar and vanilla. You might need to add a little milk to make it to the  consistency you like. When everything is cool and ready, place a layer on the plate you  will serve it from, top-side down. Fill with whipped cream filling, and sprinkle with  coconut and if you would like add chopped walnuts. Repeat with the second layer, and  then place the top layer on. Frost the sides and the top. Cover the entire cake with  coconut and if you wish, add chopped walnuts. Refrigerate to set the frosting.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&quot;I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, &#039;At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.&#039;&quot; (Exodus 16:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cake<\/p>\n <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/blog\/2026\/02\/15\/creamy-coconut-cake\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cake"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/cake\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
