Ingredients

1 ¼ cups sifted cake flour
1 tablespoon sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 egg whites
⅔ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
⅓ cup sweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweetened coconut milk
⅓ cup almond milk
3 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
2 ounces sliced almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon coconut extract
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups unsalted butter
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
¼ teaspoon coconut extract
1 ½ (16 ounce) packages powdered sugar
½ cup coconut milk

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 15x10x1-inch pan with parchment paper.
Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt together 3 times in a bowl.
Beat egg whites using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until foamy. Add 1/2 of the total amount of sugar gradually; continue to beat until soft peaks form.
Beat butter using an electric mixer in a separate bowl until creamy. Gradually add remaining sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture alternately with coconut milk and almond milk in small amounts at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Mix in flaked coconut, almonds, almond extract, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. Add egg white-sugar mixture and beat thoroughly into batter. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove cake and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While cake continues to cool, beat butter, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and coconut extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar to butter mixture alternately with coconut milk, beating until smooth. Frost cooled cake.
