Instructions
Bake coconut in a single layer in a shallow pan 6 minutes.

Line 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with parchment paper. Grease and flour paper.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a very large bowl.
Beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating until blended. Beat 8 minutes or until very fluffy, scraping bottom and sides of bowl as needed.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition (about 30 seconds per egg). Stir in whipping cream and next 3 ingredients.
Gently fold butter mixture into flour mixture, in batches, just until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pans.

Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate.
Spread half of chilled Coconut-Almond Filling over cake layer. Top with 1 layer, pressing down gently. Repeat procedure with remaining half of Coconut-Almond Filling and remaining cake layer.
