Add sugar to the butter and mix until combined.

Pour in vanilla extract and mix again.

Add coconut extract and mix until combined.

Add egg whites to the mixture and mix well.

Add sour cream to the mixture and mix until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine cake flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

Sift the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients.

Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Scoop the batter into a prepared pan and evenly distribute it.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) before placing the cake in.

Bake the cake until done, checking with a toothpick if necessary.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool before decorating.
