It gets its name from the ingedients:
1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups for flour and 4 eggs.
Ingredients
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups self-rising flour, sifted
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans. Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs,1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3
Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4 inches above counter, then dropping it flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake.
Step 4
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling racks. Cool completely and spread cake layers with your favorite frosting to make a 3-layer cake.
Enjoy!

I have fallen in love again with these episodes and Paula herself. These are like an old blanket you found in the closet and absolutely need but didn’t know you missed. So comforting, relaxing, sweet and useful. Just wonderful! Thank you so much, Paula, for being on KZbin.

[@dianegraham2546]

These old clips sure reminds me of the Paula Deen I love. I bet I've watched every single one of them.

[@yvettepayling1481]

Yes

[@58sewgood]

At least twice 😆 🤣

[@sharonbelisle550]

Me too 😂

[@maryr.4757]

Paula, every time you add eggs, I think of that time on tv when the dish dropped into the mixer.......I still 😂. One of the best moments on tv...thanks....about 15 years ago.....

[@apmarin]

Never thought I would see this cake made on tv much less on Paula Deen’s show! This was the first cake I ever made and I made it each year for the holidays growing up. My mother told me to pick a recipe from her cook book and this is what I made!

[@dianagamez76]

I miss watching her on television. I'm glad to have found her on KZbin :)

[@bonniebrown6960]

Oh my word....!! I love coconut cakes !! They remind me of my Granny . She would make them every Christmas and she would make 6 or 7 thin layers of cake . She would make her homemade icing too and put it on a cake platter just like this one you used Miss Paula . She also put hers in the refrigerator . Boy... those were some delicious cakes !! Jamie sure is lucky to have a mama that will bake him his favorite cake every year for his birthday . I'm sure you always made your son's birthday's very special too . 🎂❤❤❤

[@sashineb.2114]

That does look delicious. 🍰 I love the 7-minute frostings. And what a gorgeous kitchen. That fridge!!!

[@sherryorth300]

Thanks to all those cooks for keeping and sharing the old recipes!! We love you!! A big thank you to Paula for this cake!!!!

[@deejo2]

Now that's a TRUE Coconut Cake! People don't realize the difference this frosting makes. You called it Divinity frosting but it's also like 7 Minute frosting. When you've had this one, you'll never be satisfied with cream cheese icing on a coconut cake. The filling must take this right over the top. My husband doesn't like coconut but you can bet the next time we have company I'm making this one! ☺

[@maxine7088]

These are my favorite Paula Deen shows when she was in this kitchen! I appreciate seeing it again, as I saw this very same one years ago. 😍

[@warp9p659]

I've never seen divinity frosting before. Can't wait to give it a try.

[@tanyahartley7782]

Miss Paula She is STILL queen of the kitchen. In my book anyhow.

[@msdeej538]

this cake recipe is on the back of Swans Down cake flour box, (only the cake not the icing) the difference is, she uses self-rising, Swans Down calls for baking powder and salt. I've Made it many times and it is so moist and delicious. may try her filling, it looks tasty

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

HELLO PAULA 😊! MY SWEET MAMA TAUGHT ME HOW TO MAKE THE 1-2-3-4 CAKE WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG 😊💝. ALSO THE 7 MINUTE FROSTING. THEN WE ADDED THE COCONUT JUST LIKE YOU DID 🎂💝! NOW SOMETIMES SHE WOULD ADD SOUR CREAM IN HER FROSTING INSTEAD OF WATER & THAT WAS AWESOME ALSO 💝 & I AGREE! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST CAKE'S I'VE EVER HAD & I LOVE YOU FOR KEEPING & SHARING THIS OLD RECIPE WITH ALL OF US, OUR CHILDREN & OUR GRANDCHILDREN 🎂😊💝😘! MAY GOD ALWAYS CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU SWEET LADY 🙏✝💝!!!

[@jarednil69]

I love these videos! So relaxing to watch after a difficult day.

[@vickileonardson4276]

Relaxing! I was wondering why I love them so.

[@bevelydouglas1485]

Thanks so much for this recipe it's the only one I use and everyone loves this cake and tell them I love Paula Deen she helped me to smile when I was so sick.

[@cleigh951]

Does it have to stay in the refrigerator for three days before eating? What if it’s just overnight?

[@lemons2lemonade884]

I can’t WAIT to try this icing because I’ve been looking for a go to icing that can go with just about any cake!! Thank you 🙏

[@havad3938]

I saw both simplicity and gourmet...This looks to die-for!

[@luizatucker2578]

She did another one that has measurements about a year ago

[@cindystrother7710]

This Basic 1-2-3-4 cake recipe looks absolutely delicious, 😋 Paula.

[@IMOO1896]

I’m not the most proficient cook, but I’ve been looking for a cocanut cake recipe I might be able to replicate. I believe I’ve found it in this, many thanks. BTW I a couple nights ago, watched your video of your kitchen redo on the Savannah house you’ve updated. It’s awesome.

[@suzita4019]

Delicious thank-you. I love cakes.

[@jennyline7055]

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

[@lynnefleming8614]

Coconut cake was always my birthday cake growing up as well.

[@debragrubbs1038]

My mom always made the seven minute icing.. I loved it as a child growing up!’💚💚

[@DavidJacobs-mp8mu]

The 7 minute frosting is a old fashioned recipe. Just don't make it on a rainy damp day. That was my grandmother s advice. She made the best walnut divinity.

[@judewishedhimselfout]

That cake looks amazing. Drool.

[@joeyyylisbon]

Tried this.... hella bomb! Love it! 🎂👌👌👌

[@annaosabel9238]

Oh what a beautiful so white coconut cake....i love coconut 🤗

[@hannahbartlett.]

I’d put the yummy filling on the layer first then over top a thin layer of frosting as a glue. Yum 😋

[@kimsims9293]

instead of refrigerating the cake , I put it in freezer a few hours. It does the same thing and comes out so moist.

[@anna-katehowell9852]

Paula could you put up the recipe for the filling and your cooked frosting please

[@glenneramcewen8124]

Love this!

[@judewishedhimselfout]

I like these old videos. Paula seems so different then. No big hair, and tons of make-up. More toned down and natural, even her accent wasn't as pronounced.

[@lindathacker5824]

Her accent and her cackling laugh has gotten heavier in the new videos and you would think she would be more reserved. The production crew and the Food Network probably kept het toned down.

[@jbf331]

She is very annoying in her old age😭

[@MsCorina222]

HEAVEN

OMG Ms. Paula that looks so good LOL can I have some. Continue to stay safe

[@robertlouis3564]

for the icing how much sugar, sour cream and milk to you use?

[@shawnmager7860]

my family loves cream cheese frosting but this looks like it spreads easier but i’m curious what this type of frosting taste like...is it like the whipped frosting?

[@donniepayne2088]

My mama made her coconut cakes like this and so do I.

[@teresacalladine9237]

Please can i ask for a more accurate measurement. When you say cup of sugar or what ever, it would mice to know either what size cups that's is or better still how many ounces or frames please.

[@theresaragland6382]

Wow lady ur clean cake look so delicious wow yummy yummy

[@cleigh951]

I really hope this question will be answered ! I made this cake and it is delicious so I plan to make it again this Christmas but there was a problem I encountered. After frosting, I put it in the fridge Christmas morning until ready to serve that afternoon and the 7 minutes frosting had become loose and was sliding off the cake. It looked just like hers in the beginning but after a few hours in fridge it was a mess and ugly! How do I avoid this again? Should 7 minute frosting not be put in the fridge?

[@cleigh951]

here we are a year later......still no answer 😥

[@andrewsax5682]

I’ve watched so many Paula Deen YTP videos that I can’t tell if this is a YTP or a real video.

[@catgirlmt]

Wow! I really want to make this! One question....while it sits in the fridge for 3 days, can it sit inside one of those plastic cake holders that has a lid?

[@Putain138]

Yes. My mother always put her cake like this in a Tupperware (air-tight) cake container. She called the process "ripening the cake" and she also let it sit in the fridge for three days. By the way, the frosting is called "seven minute frosting" and it is used on other cakes as well without the coconut flakes. This is a very good cake.

[@catgirlmt]

Thank you!

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Can you also use all purpose flour ánd baking powder? If so, how much?

[@davidrectorthesinger]

How much coconut milk and self-rising flour do we need?

[@TheBobr54]

How long would you bake if in a 12x9 pan?

[@lilyfitty4208]

Is the icing regular crystal sugar or powdered?

[@Nannipat72]

I have a cookbook of hers and it just says sugar so I tried to find it online. It is regular crystal sugar!
