Preheating the oven is an important step for baking a delicious coconut sheet cake. To preheat the oven, start by setting the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once the oven is set, turn it on and wait for the preheat light to turn on or for the oven to beep. This indicates that the oven has reached the desired temperature.

Allow the oven to preheat for at least 15 minutes before placing the cake in the oven. This will ensure that the cake is cooked evenly and thoroughly.

Making a Coconut Sheet Cake is an easy and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth. To get started, you will need to grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.

This will ensure that the cake does not stick to the pan and makes it easier to remove when it is finished baking. Next, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Then, in a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

In a separate bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup white sugar, and 2 eggs until light and fluffy. Then, add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract.

Once combined, add in 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 3 cups of all-purpose flour. Mix until everything is fully incorporated.

Finally, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the butter mixture and mix until combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Once the batter is ready, spread it evenly in a greased sheet pan.

Bake the cake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Finally, let the cake cool before adding the frosting.

Finally, stir in the coconut flakes and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a rubber spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once the coconut sheet cake is finished baking, the next step is to allow it to cool completely before frosting. This is an important step that should not be skipped, as frosting a warm cake can cause the frosting to melt and ruin the cake.

To ensure the cake is cooled properly, it should be left to cool in the pan for at least an hour.

After an hour, the cake can be removed from the pan and placed on a cooling rack. The cooling rack will help the cake to cool more quickly and evenly. Once the cake is completely cool, it can be frosted and enjoyed.

To make the frosting, mix together 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 4 cups powdered sugar. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and sprinkle with shredded coconut.

Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded coconut. Finally, cut the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy!
