[@denisescruggs7367]

That's the best snow-white coconut cake recipe that I've ever seen!

[@AnnLord-ym6ov]

This cake is the cake of my dreams! Thank you!

[@cathyprosser1050]

Mine too!! I'm more a white or vanilla cake gal than chocolate 😊

[@dilbertdude1]

Hands down this is the best cake ever. I made it and took it to work once and now my coworkers are always asking me to make it again! Thank you for sharing this❣️

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s a family favorite.

[@WandaBell-e8w]

This is the best scratch White cake recipe I have found

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I’m so glad you liked it!

[@Cheri94]

The world needs more people like YOU Tammy ❤️ it would be a sweeter place!

[@Misty_Dawn]

7:48 I AM SO GLAD YOU SAID THIS! I thought I was going crazy because every time I would make a box cake, the past 10 years at least, I would think, “I could’ve sworn these layers used to come out thicker than this??” and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! 😫 I should’ve known they were making them smaller though! 😄

[@rhondabutler4172]

I sure do love coconut cake. Sure wish I could sit down and have a piece with you.

[@candiceyoung8244]

My favorite cake. Looks beautiful and delicious ❤

[@patc.318]

Hi Tammy! It took only one time of making this cake before it quickly became a huge fave with my crew! It's often requested for birthdays as well as making regular appearances during the holidays. It's become something of a tradition at our house. Thank you so much for sharing your mom's recipe! It's extra special, for sure! Thank you for the video, y'all!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

So glad!

I love coconut cake, this is my husband’s VERY FAVORITE cake. I have to make one after seeing this video!

Christmas of 1988 Costco had a triple layer coconut cake. It was huge, delicious, moist. This cake takes me back.

[@susangibbs4588]

Your cake looks delicious and you got me looking forward to Christmas time, 2023! ❤

[@loveinautumn3978]

Coconut cake is one of my favs tfs

[@lynnblevens6749]

My mama was from Alabama and this was here best cake. Thank you for bringing back so many good times

[@cathyprosser1050]

Oh, Tammy, I am not a very good baker at all so I doubt I will even attempt this one but I've had some really good coconut cakes in my life, but I don't think I've eaten one as good as yours looks!! Oh my goodness, that was stunning and you have obviously made quite a few of these. What a precious gift from your Mom to have learned how to bake and decorate like you do and it keeps her close in your heart to carry on her legacy of baking such a gorgeous, delicious cake like that one during Christmas. ❤

[@MarieL10]

My mother in law made this cake quite often. I’m in my late 70’s now but I still miss her bake goods. She was a wonderful southern cook. She made huge cat head biscuits and corn bread muffins fresh every day of her marriage. They never ate sliced white bread. Such a treat. 🥰❤️❤️🧓🏻Texas.

[@Charlotte-eg5ou]

My Mom made the BEST coconut cake + sour cream coconut cake was absolutely divine. Just like this one best served days later looks delicious

[@katrinaseymour6666]

Thank you for this recipe. I remember as a child when an older woman in the community would make a coconut cake, and sell them. She never shared her recipe. I remember the icing being fluffy. I believe your recipe was how she made it. Thank you again. One day I will try it. Maybe at seventy.

As a kid my granny made all cakes from scratch too but I never liked coconut cake. My favorite was chocolate cake and her Christmas fruit cakes. Mmm mmm good.

OMGOSH 😱 Tammy! Tammy! Tammy! This cake looks sooo delicious!! Just like a little piece of Heaven!! If there truly are sweets in Heaven, I hope your coconut cake will be there too someday!! Coconut was always my mom's favorite desserts!! IDK if I can make this cake, it looks so intimidating to attempt! Very beautifully made!!! 😍❤️🥰

My son-in-law asked me to make a coconut cake for his birthday cake. Perfect timing with your delicious recipe.

[@jillv4006]

That is making me so hungry! I’ve never seen that coconut before . Wonder if Walmart sells it. I know my little store doesn’t. And is that unsalted butter? What a tribute to your sweet mama! So glad she was saved! She’s feasting in Heaven now!

My Mama made the best Coconut Cake from scratch here in Georgia you ever tasted! She used Birdseye Coconut soaked in creme of coconut ... She did it just like this! So moist and so good! My Daddy favorite cake in the world. He called them, Sawdust Cakes bc of the coconut. Lol. I miss my Daddy and Mama so much! I'll see them soon when the Lord Comes to carry me home, Amen. Thank you Tammy.... 🙏❤😁

[@karensweet6530]

Ladies, You dont have to be a experienced cake decorated to ic e a cake! Anybody can do it! I've done it my whole life and so did my Mama. Actually anybody I ever knew can do it! Just let your layers cool good and ice your cake!

[@kathysantos2594]

I can not get the frozen fresh shredded coconut in the freezer section. Can we use the Bakers coconut along with the other ingredients for the topping? It looks SSOOO good!!!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Bakers would not work you would have to use a real coconut and get out the flesh

[@deborahmcc3678]

Hey, I’ve been wanting this for about a month now!! Let’s do it!

[@stillbee7222]

Ohhh. That looks so yummy. Thank you.

[@Misty_Dawn]

What keeps the cake from becoming soggy Ms. Tammy? With the coconut being so “soupy” as you put it, would it not cause the bottom of the cake, at least, to become soggy over time? I thought maybe the icing might be a barrier, but the bottoms of the cake layers are lying on top of the coconut layer. Thanks for any info! I can’t wait to try to make this cake and I just want to make sure I’m making it right. ☺️🩷🙌🏼

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It will be refrigerated so it will stay firm

[@meryemeelfatim5732]

I think it would taste somewhat like a tres leches coconut cake

[@mddell58]

~~~ INFO: Chlorine makes White Lily more like cake flour than other all-purpose flours. But there again is another subtle difference, ...While White Lily can be used in cakes, it is not bleached as much as cake flour, which gives White Lily a better, less acidic taste,

Now that’s a good looking cake! 🔥

Every Christmas, my grandma would make chocolate pies and coconut pies, and that would be our desserts. So we have always made kept that tradition and her recipe of course. I had never had a coconut cake until I found the new Dolly Parton cake mixes and she has one for coconut cake. So I got that and made it for our family reunion this summer, and it was a hit! It was soo yummy! I would love it if you got the same cake mix for the coconut cake and make it to see what you think about Ms. Dolly’s recipe! I’m super curious to hear what you think about it! 😃🙏🏻🩷

[@susiethomas6909]

Miss Tammy, do you think it would turn out badly if I used all butter instead of a butter shortening mix? I have a lot of butter I need to use up. Also, do you use salted or unsalted butter?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

All butter would work and I use salted

[@brendapelfrey4035]

If you use salted butter would you still add the salt?

Coconut Cake is one of my favorite. Had one from bakery for my August birthday. Still have some slices in freezer. Lol

I use the cake pan wraps. The cake layers are level, get done and remain light on the edges. I am lazy. I use the parchment liners.

Hi Tammy, I live in West Michigan and can’t find frozen coconut anywhere, I have searched everywhere but it’s not available, what should I use I place of the frozen coconut? I don’t think Bakers coconut would do it justice if being moistened with cream of coconut.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

You would have to get the flesh out of a real coconut

[@rebeccatelgenhoff3540]

Thanks Tammy, what’s the the size of packages you use so I can see how many coconuts to buy, thanks back for the response. I have been wanting to make your cake for awhile now but unsure what to use in place of the fresh coconut.

Tammy. This is off topic of your beautiful cake, but I just got through making a gallon of sweet tea. It got me wondering how many gallons of sweet tea have I ever made? So. I started making sweet tea by the gallon about age 14 by myself. Sweet tea lasts about 2 days at my house. So I think 183 x44 years I think. I think I’ve made approximately 8052 gallons of sweet tea. I thought this was funny😂 How about you how many gallons have you made?❤ I enjoy all your videos.
