Creating the Coconut Cloud Cake is simple 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. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, shredded coconut, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Divide Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once done, remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in their pans for about 15-20 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
9. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a generous amount of whipped frosting on top. Add the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.
10. Garnish: Top with toasted coconut flakes for an added crunch and visual appeal.
