I found a recipe for coconut cake on Pinterest from Cooking Classy and it looked great, so I thought I’d convert it to be gluten free and make a few tweaks. My kids and coworkers loved the cake…some didn’t even know it was gluten free!

Ingredients

• 3 cups gluten free all purpose flour (I use THIS one)
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups  sugar
• 3/4 cup butter or nondairy butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 can full fat coconut milk
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature, yolks and whites separated, plus two more egg whites
• 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c. shredded coconut
