- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Buttercream
- 2 cans coconut cream
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare your pans.
Prepare buttermilk by combining vinegar with milk.
Sift all dry ingredients in one bowl.
Add wet ingredients in a separate bowl, including the buttermilk.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Stir until combined and mixed well.
Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 45 minutes or until firm.
For buttercream, chill coconut cream cans and remove the cream.
