Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a sponge cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light, fluffy, and pale yellow. For faster results, use an electric mixer.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, shredded coconut, and pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
