Greek yogurt reduces sugar while adding creaminess.

In a mixing bowl, add eggs and use a hand mixer to beat them until light and doubled in size.

Add oil while mixing.

Add coconut extract and orange flavor to the mixture.

Sieve in flour and baking powder, whisking again.

Divide the flour into two parts, adding half, then the rest while mixing.

Add milk and a pinch of salt to balance sweetness, then mix until creamy and well combined.

Transfer the batter into a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 170°C for 20-25 minutes, tapping to release excess bubbles before baking.

Once baked, let the cake cool on a cake board and remove the parchment paper.

In a bowl, whip the cream until almost stiff, then add cream cheese and a little powdered sugar, whipping until firm.

Spread orange jam on top of the first cake layer, followed by whipped cream.

Place the second layer on top and level it by cutting if necessary.

Apply whipped cream around and on top of the cake, leveling it with a spatula.

Use a pastry brush to create a design on the cake surface.

Put some whipped cream in a piping bag and decorate the top as desired.

Add food coloring to the whipped cream for decoration, using light blue and deep blue as desired.

Sprinkle sugar sprinkles on top for finishing touches.
