  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until pale yellow, then mix in the milk and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, then fold in the shredded coconut and chopped fresh strawberries.
  5. Evenly divide the batter between the cake pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for a light golden color.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
