Ingredients:

Serving

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
1 tsp coconut extract
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup prepared lemon curd
fluffy white frosting
3 cups dried sweetened flaked coconut
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 lb cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 tsp coconut extract

Heat oven to 350°F Grease and flour three 8-inch-round cake pans. In bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and baking soda, mixing well.

Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on racks.

In separate bowl, beat together cream cheese and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream. Fold in coconut extract.
On cake plate or stand, place first layer top side down. Spread with half of lemon curd. Add second layer top side down; spread with remaining lemon curd. Add third layer top side up. Frost sides and top of cake with frosting; sprinkle sides and top with coconut.
