  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

    Shake can of coconut milk to evenly distribute fat before measuring. Pour 1 cup coconut milk into large bowl.

Stir in 1/2 cup coconut.

    Pour batter into prepared pan; bake 18-22 minutes or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes.

  4. STEP 4

    Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar, cocoa and 1/8 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Place butter into clean medium bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low. Gradually beat in powdered sugar mixture alternately with 1/3 cup coconut milk, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.

  5. STEP 5

    Frost cooled cake with chocolate frosting; sprinkle with toasted coconut. Store covered at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tip #1

To toast coconut, spread coconut in single layer on ungreased baking pan. Bake at 350°F, stirring occasionally, 5-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from pan; cool completely.
