Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 cup of shredded coconut.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until pale and frothy.
  4. Gradually combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated.
  5. Fold in 1.5 cups of chopped fresh strawberries into the batter without breaking them down too much.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
