  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with coconut milk until just combined.
  6. Fold in the shredded coconut gently with a rubber spatula.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, coconut milk, and optional coconut extract until smooth for glaze.
  10. Once cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over your cake and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top if desired.
