Preheat oven to 350* F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and insert a parchment circle into the bottom of each pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine.
2 ⅔ Cup All-Purpose Flour, 1 tablespoon Baking Powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
In a large bowl, combine sugar, non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, lemon juice, vanilla and coconut extract. Whisk to combine.
1 ½ Cups Granulated Sugar, 1 ½ Cups Non-Dairy Milk, 9 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted and cooled, 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice or White Vinegar, 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract, ¾ teaspoon Coconut Extract
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk to form the batter. Then add the shredded coconut and use a spatula to fold it into the batter.
¾ Cup Shredded Sweetened Coconut
Divide the batter between the two prepared 8-inch cake pans. If you have a kitchen scale, it will be about 21 ounces per pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter out evenly, then bake in a 350* oven for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
