Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool completely before assembling.

Whip the whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Fold in the shredded coconut, then carefully fold in the whipped cream.
