1. Prep Oven & Pan
\nPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish and set aside.<\/p>\n
2. Mix the Batter
\nIn a large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
\nAdd the softened butter in small chunks and mix until the mixture is crumbly.
\nBlend in the egg whites one at a time, followed by the whole egg.
\nPour in the cream, vanilla, and coconut extract. Beat until the batter is light and smooth\u2014about 1\u20132 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Bake the Cake
\nPour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30\u201335 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n
4. Soak with Coconut Milk
\nWhile the cake is still warm, use a fork or skewer to poke small holes across the surface. Shake the can of coconut milk well and pour it evenly over the cake. Let it cool completely so the milk soaks in.<\/p>\n
5. Whip the Topping
\nIn a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
\nAdd the sugar, vanilla, and coconut extract, mixing until combined.
\nGradually pour in the chilled cream and beat until soft peaks form, then continue until stiff and fluffy (3\u20134 minutes total).<\/p>\n
6. Assemble the Cake
\nSpread the whipped topping evenly over the cooled, soaked cake. Sprinkle with shredded coconut for texture and flavor.<\/p>\n
7. Chill & Serve
\nRefrigerate the cake until ready to serve. Slice into squares and enjoy each cloud-like bite!<\/p>\n\n
