Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch round baking pans by greasing them and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until fully incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until pale yellow and frothy, then mix in the milk and melted butter if using.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just mixed to maintain a light texture.
  5. Carefully fold in the shredded coconut and chopped strawberries.
  6. Pour the batter into prepared baking pans and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
