The most delicious and fluffy Southern Coconut Cake Recipe

[@kyleford2315]

I've been making this cake for 6 years now, and it's THE BEST!!

[@ladybird3596]

I’ve been making this cake for years except I put a raspberry filling inside. And I chop up the coconut instead of leaving it just shredded! One of my favorites!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎂🎂🎂🥥

[@SugarGeekShow]

wendy sparrow mmmm raspberry filling sounds fantastic

[@chrisveit1120]

How do you make your raspberry filling?

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I just made it. It is delicious, fluffy and moist. I love it!!!

[@SugarGeekShow]

Temitope Abiona yay! You’re welcome! I’m so glad you liked it

[@lovetobake6]

This is a great recipe. I made it 3 times already. I did use 3 oz of coconut milk by reducing buttermilk.

[@sayo9719]

I made the cake and it turned out amazing, although I used coconut milk instead of buttermilk. Please, can I get the recipes in grams? It wasn't really easy converting the ingredients to grams.

Thank you

I have been on a sugar diet for the past month and a half. I don’t think I have ever drooled as hard as when I watch your videos.

[@Itsjustlizzz]

Made this cake for Father’s Day and it was so yummy! I sprinkled toasted coconut on top and it was amazingggg :) thanks for sharing!

[@aliciaperez4862]

Why am I watching this while fasting???!!! Looks so yummy 🤤

[@crystalnielsen6636]

I need this cake. I never miss an oven more than when I watch your videos. I need an off grid oven stat!

[@jenyhomestuff]

I have made this cake, it's delicious! I used buttercream frosting, ( halve butter, half shortening) added coconut extract!! Delicioso!!!

[@sumoses387]

Tried this and everyone loved it! I made my own buttermilk using coconut milk instead to add more coconut flavour a d it was amazing

[@jenyhomestuff]

Coconut milk!?🤔 thanks

[@tonyaacebo6168]

This cake is amazing. My customer loved it!

[@denagustafson6070]

Thank you SO much for sharing this recipe! It was my mom’s favorite cake and I lost the recipe. I’ve been looking for it for years! I hope you are well.

[@SugarGeekShow]

Dena Gustafson oh yay! Glad you found it. Thanks so much 💗

[@roselenat]

Coconut is the best flavor in my opinion! Thanks for the recipe! You rock!

[@AY1_2]

I recommend this recipe! I made it for my Dad’s Birthday, and he LOVED it!!! I think I added to much salt, 😅but it was still SO good. Thank you SO much for these AMAZING recipes ❤️ I so much enjoy watching them 😃 And to add some more coconut flavor, (for those of you that don’t have coconut extract) You can soak some 2-3 tablespoons of coconut in milk, and soak your cake in it

[@user-ss6gw1vn2o]

Bring all the ingredients to room temp, watch the video, do it EXACTLY like she does - most amazing coconut cake ever (and I live in South Carolina)!!!

[@bethstophel8344]

I wanted to thank you for this recipe! I have made this 4 times in the last 2 weeks for cake orders I've had. It is such a hit and so very easy to make. Thank you for such a fantastic recipe. Wish I could post some pictures of how beautiful it turned out!

[@stacywhite3776]

Have you ever made it with coconut milk instead of buttermilk?

[@SugarGeekShow]

Beth Stophel thanks so much for your comment! I’m so glad that you love this recipe 😄

I have never seen a mixer like that before. I’m shook.

[@starlsma2000]

isnt it a food processor

[@glendarodriguez469]

I just made this cake. Man... many steps but your instructions were spot on. Good flavor and super moist. Wish mine could have turned out more picture ready, but will definitely be doing this again soon! Thank you for this recipe

[@janicemalone3720]

I wish that I could have a big slice of that cake with a cold glass of milk. It looks past delish.🥰😇😅😂

[@maryamsarkilabaran5285]

Hello beautiful. Love all your recipes, they've got the best textures I've seen. I was wondering if you could make an updated version of your red velvet cake using the reverse creaming method. I'm dying for that texture in a red velvet cake and my parents' anniversary is coming up soon. I wanna surprise them with the best. Thank you very much

[@vickipixiehallow1954tomlinson]

I made this cake for my friends birthday and omg it was so good, I just tweaked it by making a pineapple curd filling, so it was a pina colada cake, fantastic! several people said it was the best cake they had ever eaten!! thanks for the great recipes!

[@dd470_]

Wow what a great idea!

[@alibee3562]

Thanks for sharing this recipe, looks amazing!! Can I replace the buttermilk with coconut milk?

[@scratchingtheitch1314]

I tried this recipe and it was amazing. Friends and family loved it.

[@SugarGeekShow]

So happy you liked it!

[@laterinlife0904]

I just finished putting together this cake. I'm enjoying it. However, on my part, I filled it with lemon curd. The curd overpowers the coconut. So, lesson learned.

[@mzdiamondlover]

Angela Terrell honestly, still sounds great. I can see where you were trying to go with it. Lemon and coconut does sound delicious! Maybe a little less lemon curd to just add a hint of freshness? I will definitely give the lemon twist to this cake when I make it lol

[@laterinlife0904]

@@mzdiamondlover I took this cake to work and everyone loved it! Perhaps, because I'm new to this type of cake combo, my taste buds needed time to adjust. Thanks for the suggestion by the way. I hope to try more of her recipes. They are amazing!

[@jahjoeka]

I don't have buttermilk so im using sour cream. Wish me luck!

[@marynwosu8802]

I loved this coconut cake. I enjoyed making it although I don't bake. And I got rave reviews. I I learned so much, I'm going to try another recipe!

Can I use coconut milk instead of the buttermilk?

[@lifeisthedash]

i put vinegar in the coconut milk...lol

@@lifeisthedash does it turn into coconut buttermilk?

[@SoniaMartinez-vw3pe]

I tried chef Jason Licker's coconut cake. Do you know how his filling and topping are made?

[@____Ann____]

'we seriously ate the whole... slice' Well, of course. What else would you do? I thought she was going to say they ate the whole cake.

[@sophieammar8545]

Hi…quantity plz?? Like how many egg white? Cream of tartare? Measurement? Looks great

[@divineblessings4514]

Wow! I love coconut cake it’s exactly my favorite I happen to be looking for a simple but, super delicious recipe. I’m super excited to give this a try for my birthday cake this year you rock!!! 🌹☺️

[@hudharizzy795]

Hai Liz I made this cake for my husbands 30th birthday last week. It turned out so good . But unfortunately my frosting started to curled up while whipping I have no idea why and what went wrong . So I added corn flour and made it little ok consistency to frost and popped in the freezer. I would love to know why my frosting loosing up and curled please

[@BeeCJ]

I think maybe the ingredients were not all the same temperature. Butter and cream cheese must be soft when you put your finger in it. Room temperature. Hope this helps. I am from the South and made this with my mom for many years.

[@zaidhassani9176]

It looks so delicious I’m about to make it but instead of the cream cheese frosting I’m using whipped cream is that fine

[@bhairabsarma8431]

Absolutely fine..but cheese is the secret to love..awww

[@myabennett915]

Thanks for this wonderful recipe I really don’t like the taste of a lot of toasted coconut flakes so I subbed it with coconut milk and sweetened coconut condensed milk AWESOME 👏

[@Ellaceeceebee]

Did you still use the buttermilk?

[@josecordero2819]

the best coconut cake recipe ever. This is my to go recipe

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

If I can't get coconut extract, can I use part buttermilk and part coconut milk?

[@IAmGospel80]

Am I able to do the reverse cream method on this cake? I love that process since I learned it from you

[@everlinebakerlogan1567]

How many cups of flour do I use? I don't have a scale. Thank you 🤗

[@jacquelynjones1741]

OMG, I continue to make it every way, but in different variations. I first omitted the coconut in the cake. This 'CAKE' & 'Frosting' recipe is a pure luscious DREAM!!! THANK YOU!!!

I want to make this cake with some sort of pineapple filling for my kids birthday luau🍍🥥 🌴🌺

[@donnabella8885]

I haven't made very many cakes from scratch because most of them are too light. I was looking for a cake that was a bit denser and I didn't have buttermilk so I used sour cream thinned with coconut milk. It turned out amazing, thanks 😊

[@sumoses387]

Can substitute coconut in the place of the regular milk and vinegar to make the buttermilk?

[@badkat68]

Looks fantastic! If I'm going to bake 6" layers instead of 8" layers, is baking time still the same?

OMG this looks amazing, I am definitely going to make this.

[@SugarGeekShow]

Anne CW yay! Let me know what you think!

[@nilouferyasmeen6772]

Hey hi ! This is very similar to the Italian wedding cake ... my question is can this cake or a softer cake be covered with fondant ?

[@lenhister]

I feel like this was a missed opportunity to used coconut milk instead of buttermilk for extra coconut flavor!

[@kimtee8961]

She's science-y so I think there is specific reason she did that. I would want to use the coconut milk too but . . .

[@haleemarazzaq6876]

Can this be baked in 3 x9" or 2 x10" and i used moist sweetened coconut. Does that work?

[@nanabugsy3096]

I can’t wait to try this recipe!

[@Elomiavida]

If I use cake flour is it the same measure as if I used ap flour? Thank you.

[@monachirri-hamadeh5851]

I thought so too! Most coconut cake recipes use coconut milk.

[@ibakedit5850]

Another tip is substituting a little of the oil/fat with coconut oil. I have done this and it gave the cake a more flavorful character.

[@happinesskyungai1686]

Just want to know how much butter do you use ,flour and other in measuring process?

The sweetened flaked coconut that is added into the cake batter - is this fresh coconut or from a packet

Looks delicious! Can you pls tell me what model is your Bosch mixer or a link of where you got it? Thanks.

[@JGibson512]

Liz, can you use this as a base for an Italian Cream Cake by adding pecans? Are there any other ingredients, e.g. almond extract instead of the coconut?

[@jennifermaxwell7877]

What is the measurement of sugar , butter and flour in grams

[@evaluigi6175]

Can I leave the coconut out of the batter? Woyld I need to change the flour amt?

[@azumar6945]

Can you put fondant on this icing?

Its a very good coconut cake but too sweet ! Also I want to clarify the amount of eggs because in you tube you used 5 eggs but in the blog says 4. Can you help ? I beleieve all your recipes are really good ! Happy2024

[@peterciii]

Would using coconut oil, for the boost of coconut flavor, instead of canola oil ruin the integrity of the cake? Seeing that coconut oil acts different at room temperature.

[@marisolreyes3427]

My god..ready to make this,I want it....looks so,so good....thak you liz...

I'm not a big fan of that sugary coconut flakes. I do however like toasted coconut. You said you didn't like how the cake looked with toasted coconut all over it. I'm thinking maybe toasted coconut on just the top with the white coconut all around the sides. I think that will look nicely.

[@SugarGeekShow]
