Old Fashioned - Coconut Cake - Fresh Coconut Cake - Cooking From Scratch

[@marilynread364]

I am 86 years old and I am standing here crying, just thinking about Mom starting with a coconut she had to drain of the milk THEN get the bark off the coconut. Then grate the coconut and moisten it a bit with the milk. Divinity icing and Snow White cake with the grated coconut. I can’t stand how we miss her to this day! Mom barked the orders for her funeral the evening before she quietly went to sleep. As she put it she would just doze a bit before breakfast. Precious memories indeed. I am certain she immediately was barking orders for someone to oil the hinges of the gates of Heaven. They squeaked!!!!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

My mama did that with the fresh coconuts when I was young. And then....it became available in the freezer section!! I did it one time and swore never again. So much work indeed! Mama made the seven minute icing too!

[@camillekortis2117]

I don’t know how I’ll live without my parents and grandparents. The world is so cold and oppressive today. I can’t live without them. I was raised 50% or the time at my grandparents and she cooks everything from scratch. Lord I’ll never be able to say thank You enough for them. I just wish those years had gone by slower. This world is not the same one I grew up in. God bless you Marilyn.

[@jzzchc]

Thanks Tammy! This is the 1st time that I have seen anyone make a fresh coconut cake that reminded me of my grandmother's. She made 2 to 3 coconut cakes each year using fresh coconuts that she bought from Kroger. She would crack them open, extract & grind the meat. She made 3 types. For my grandfather's b/day, she would put homage egg/vanilla custard between the layers. For her sister's b/day she would put homemade lemon curd between the layers and for Xmas, she would put icing & coconuts between the layers. Sometimes her icing was the 7 minute icing; sometimes it was divinity icing; sometimes it was a coconut/buttercream icing. Thanks so much for reminding me!

When I was a kid I would mow this lady’s yard on our street and in exchange she would bake my folks a coconut cake like this. I later developed the taste for coconut cake myself 😂. That was back around 1976-77 in north Texas. Thanks for the recipe and memories.

@@moand7862 you bet. I also would mow an old retired couple’s yard and eat lunch on the front porch with them as payment.

[@lolaottinger3038]

@@popsxbox my Mom lived in Plano, everything she baked was pure perfection. We all loved her coconut cake, she put pineapple between the layers and that just kicked the flavor up a notch. When she made German Chocolate cake she made a double recipe of the frosting, that cake was legendary in our family, as was her coconut pound cake, she had a standing request to make two of those for the family reunion, one to share and one that my uncle kept to himself, not sure if he even shared any of it with my aunt! I miss her so much, I always wish for just one more day, and then another……

I always asked my mum to make a coconut cake for my birthday. One year the cake stuck in the pans. What was she she to to do? She whipped up lemon pie filling and used it as a glue to hold the broken pieces together. She continued with the coconut frosting. It worked perfectly, and a new birthday cake favorite was born! Many years later my mum admitted to me- “ Leave it to me to make more work for myself!”. Lol. The lemon is a heavenly addition to the coconut. I’m lucky, now my daughter makes my birthday cake. 💖

[@kuinceybanac-aricayos8148]

Love my mom's Pistachio cake! I tweaked just the frosting. I miss her so. Being that we are from Hawaii, I still make my own coconut milk and oil. It is common here. Coconuts are abundant. We learned to know if it was to old or to young. We husked them, learned to crack them open just about perfectly around the middle. We drained out the coconut water , which is so delicious and full of nutrients. Then we grated it using a sit down grater my grandpa had since 1940's. I love these memories😊❤😊

Beautiful cake. I can almost smell and taste it remembering ones I've had in the past. Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories! Mom would play her vinyls when she was cooking. Think of Dean Martin singing the "Thanks for the memories" song in his low, warm, husky, whisky mellowed voice. Mom's coconut cakes were made from fresh coconuts and coconut milk. When I was slightly older my task was to carefully shred the coconut on her 4 sided tin grater. She only made those a few times a year when I was little. One time was Easter. I seem to remember her pouring the milk from the coconuts directly onto each layer of cake. She made two thick layers, which she then split in half by cinching them up with a string. I was always facinated when she did some neat trick like that.

Dear Marilyn, This was my mother’s Christmas cake also! In the early days,the store manager would always save a coconut for her. We had so much fun watching her tackle that coconut with a hammer and what other tools she needed to crack that thing open. Bless her heart. She usually had four layers of white cake, and used fresh whipped cream and the shredded coconut in between and on top of and all around the sides. Then it would be kept in the refrigerator in my grandmother’s aluminum cake carrier. It just wasn’t Christmas without Mama’s Christmas Coconut Cake. 🎄 She and my dad have been gone now for many years, and I decided to make Mother’s Cake. No, I didn’t have to “attack” the coconut because the stores now have the fresh shredded coconut in the freezer section. It was good, but not as good as Mother’s was. But I did enjoy the cake and the memories with it. So, Marilyn, I am so glad I saw your story. God Bless You.And I bet we both know what we will be making for next Christmas.🎄❤️🎄

She was a hairdresser and worked so hard all the time but especially at Christmas. She would work till late on Christmas Eve. Some Christmases she just didn’t have the energy to make one. It was hard to grate that coconut for such a small woman. When I was in the 6th grade, I came home for the holidays and told Momma I had promised my teacher one of her famous coconut cakes.

Thank you for sharing your skills with us! I learn so much from you. I am a southern girl but I live in Colorado now away from my mama. Your cooking reminds me so much of what I grew up eating. Keep it up and Merry Christmas Tammy!

That's so beautiful that you're sharing your mom's recipe and keeping her memory alive. Bless her soul wherever she is right now. And thank you for sharing this recipe. I could feel the love while baking it
