Grease two 9-inch round pans and dust with flour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In a separate bowl mix together oil, coconut milk, vanilla, almond extract and sugar. Pour into the dry ingredients and beat until smooth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bake until the cake is slightly golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
