- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

#### For the Filling and Topping:
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

### Instructions:
1. **Preheat and Prepare**:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. **Prepare the Cake Batter**:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
3. **Bake the Cake**:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. **Prepare the Milk Soak**:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut milk. Mix well until combined.
5. **Assemble the Cake**:
- Once the cake has cooled completely, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- Slowly pour the milk soak mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the mixture evenly and ensure all parts of the cake are soaked.
6. **Prepare the Filling and Topping**:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of the soaked cake.
- Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly over the whipped cream layer.
7. **Optional Garnish**:
- Drizzle chocolate ganache over the top of the cake for an extra decadent touch.
8. **Chill and Serve**:
