Pour the cake batter into a greased and lined 20cm cake tin and bake for 45minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10minutes before removing from the tin.
Then turn the cake out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
METHOD FOR THE FROSTING
Chill the coconut cream in the fridge to ensure the liquid has separated from the cream.
Scrape out the top, thickened cream and leave the liquid behind.

Then add the icing sugar and mix until creamy and smooth.
Spread the frosting over the top of the cake and top with coconut flakes.
