Method
Prepare the Base
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once the sponge cakes are completely cool, top each cake with a generous spoonful of macerated strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes
For added flavor, you can drizzle some coconut milk over the cakes before adding the toppings.
