Buttercream
- Two cans coconut cream, chilled

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare your pans.

Add wet ingredients, including the buttermilk, to a separate bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir until combined and well mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans.

Chill two cans of coconut cream, then remove the cream and save the water for another use.
