Ingredients

	For the cake:
150 g	flour
160 g	sugar
6 medium	eggs, separated
1 tsp	vanilla
1 tsp	almond extract
½ tsp	salt
	For the coconut frosting:
200 ml	coconut milk
450 g	white chocolate
	For the topping:
150 g	coconut flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease two round cake pans.

Preparation:
Beat egg yolks with sugar until pale yellow. Add vanilla, almond extract, flour and salt, and mix until just combined.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Combine egg whites with egg yolk mixture in two batches.

Divide batter between two cake pans and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cakes cool on rack, and remove from cake pans.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine coconut milk and white chocolate and stir until well incorporated and thickens. Let cool in the refrigerator and whisk before use to smooth out the texture.

Assembling the cake:
Cut away the tops of the cakes so that the layers are evenly leveled. Spread 1/3 of coconut cream on the bottom layer of the cake.

Place the second layer on top and press down slightly. With the leftover 2/3 of the coconut cream, frost the whole cake evenly. Sprinkle with coconut flakes.
