1

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

2

Grease 1 (9-inch) round cake pan, line with parchment paper, grease again and dust with flour.

3

In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and egg yolks until fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well.

4

In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to batter, alternating with milk and coconut milk. Mix until just combined. Set aside.

5

In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into batter until blended.

6

Pour batter into cake pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

7

While cake is baking, make sauce by whisking together coconut milk and sweet condensed milk.

8

When cake is baked, remove from pan and cut in half to make 2 layers. Moisten the bottom cake layer with half of the sauce.

9

Place the top layer on top and use a toothpick to poke holes all over the surface. Pour remaining sauce until the cake absorbs everything.

Sprinkle with shredded coconut and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
