Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with non-stick spray and line the bottom of each with parchment paper.
Place coconut milk and butter in a small saucepan and heat over low heat.
Place yolks, eggs, and sugar in a large bowl and place over a pot of simmering water. Whip until tripled in volume.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Fold the flour mixture into the eggs in 3 installments and then gently fold in the milk mixture. Fold in the coconut and divide the mixture evenly between the 2 pans.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back when gently pushed. Cool on a baking rack then gently remove from the pan. Slice the cakes in 1/2, horizontally, and soak each 1/2, with 1/4 cup of the Rum Simple Syrup.
Spread 1/2 cup of the Ganache Filling onto each of the 4 layers of cake and stack the layers.
Spread the remaining Ganache Filling over the top and side of the cake.
Place the Coconut Spray mixture in a paint sprayer and spray the entire cake with the mixture.
Serve Macerated Berries alongside the slices of cake.
Combine rum and sugar in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar is dissolved.
