Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a rectangular baking dish.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a medium bowl, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spread the whipped cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
  9. Sprinkle sweetened flaked coconut over the cream layer, pressing it lightly.
