Step 1: Heat a pan on the stove, add the shredded coconut to the pan and stir until the coconut turns pale yellow and has a fragrant smell. Divide the dried shredded coconut into 2 equal parts.

Step 2: Put sugar, butter, and salt in a bowl, then use a mixer to beat the butter until it becomes creamy and light yellow. Note that you should not beat the butter for too long as it may cause the butter to separate.

Step 3: Gradually add each egg into the bowl and use the mixer to beat evenly to create a uniform mixture. At this step, you should adjust the mixer to medium speed, beat evenly and thoroughly to make the batter smoother.

Step 4: Add vanilla to the mixture to create a fragrant aroma for the cake.

Step 6: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes.
