   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
2. Whip the Egg Whites:
   • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
   • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until well incorporated.
3. Bake the Cake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Topping:
   • In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
   • Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
   • Sprinkle the shredded coconut and grated white chocolate evenly over the top of the cake.
