- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour your bundt or layer cake pans.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, then alternate adding the sifted dry ingredients and buttermilk until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake: 60-70 minutes for bundt pans or 30-35 minutes for layer pans.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Beat together the cream cheese and softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar until combined.
- Frost the cooled cake with the cream cheese frosting and garnish as desired.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing to achieve a lighter texture in your cake.
