Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a round cake pan.

Mix flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and milk until combined.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake.

Decorate with coconut flakes, chocolate ganache, and fresh fruit as desired.
