Instead of the vanilla, add 1 tsp coconut extract. The cake will be more coconutty.

Hi!
What a wonderful sight! :D
It seems the perfect cake for my dad's birthday, he loves bitter-sweet cakes (if i'm to be doing this I will not add the sweetened version of coconut)...
I was wondering though what goes between the two layers? Some kind of coconut cream? What would you suggest?
Thanks for such a recipe :)
