Creating the Christmas Coconut Snow Cake can be straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and no lumps remain.
5. Add Coconut: Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
6. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
7. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 20 minutes. Then, gently transfer the cakes to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
10. Assemble the Cake: Place one layer of cake on a serving platter. Spread a layer of whipped cream frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top.
11. Frost the Cake: Use the remaining whipped cream frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.
12. Decorate: Generously sprinkle additional shredded coconut on the top and sides of the cake for a snowy effect.
