Amazing Coconut Custard Cake with a Coconut Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting

The creamy coconut buttercream has a slight tang from cream cheese and is decorated with toasted coconut. It's a beautiful cake, and it's even better once you slice into it. There is more than a whisper of coconut flavor. This cake truly speaks "Coconut"...."
