Method
Step 1 of 3
Preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan-forced. Grease and line 2 x 20cm (base) round cake pans with baking paper. Combine flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat caster sugar and 250g butter in a bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in yoghurt.
Step 2 of 3
Stir in flour mixture and 1 cup coconut until just combined. Divide batter among prepared pans. Smooth surfaces. Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted at the centre comes out clean. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Place remaining coconut on a baking tray and bake for 5 minutes or until golden.
Step 3 of 3
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and remaining butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add icing sugar and beat until smooth. Place 1 cake on a plate. Top with 1 cup icing. Top with remaining cake. Spread remaining icing over cake to cover. Press toasted coconut around side and top of cake. Decorate with passionfruit, raspberries and cherries. Serve.
