- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with coconut milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- For the buttercream, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in coconut cream and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
- To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with one-third of the buttercream and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes. Repeat with the second layer, top with the third layer, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Press untoasted coconut flakes around the sides of the cake and sprinkle over the top.
