Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Coconut Sponge Cakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing them lightly with butter or lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and any other dry ingredients until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the egg and sugar blend, then fold in the fresh strawberries and shredded coconut.
  5. Pour the batter into prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops for even baking.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
