Easy Coconut Layer Cake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- 1 box yellow cake mix 1 1/2 cups sugar
3 pkgs. frozen coconut 1-8oz cool whip
1-8oz sour cream
Prepare cake mix as directed for 2 layers(or 4 layers as i did). U can also sub 1/2 cup of coconut milk plus water to make 1 cup liquid. Prepare 2-4 pans greasing & flouring. Bake layers until golden brown.
Mix filling using the sugar & sour cream mixed well & add 1 1/2 -2 (6 ounce)packages frozen coconut and stir well and place in refrigerator until needed.
Frosting: Mix 8 ounces cool whip with 1/2 - 1 package frozen coconut. Fold coconut in gently and place in refrigerator. **Cool whip toughens if stirred too much!
When layers are cool, place first layer on cake stand(*remember to prick layers with a fork prior to putting filling on them) and place filling between layers until all layers are used. Take out frosting(cool whip + coconut) and place on sides and top of layers. Sprinkle remaining coconut on top of cake.(you may also out extra coconut on sides if desired)
Cover and place in refrigerator.
**Note cake is better if made 2 days ahead if possible.

How sweet to do that for your church.....looks like a great cake!!! Thx for sharing
Delicious
Looks delicious
Yummy
This looks delicious!! I can't wait to try it, I usually do the poke cake with cream of coconut.
I’ve watched dozens of coconut cake videos. Yours is unique. I hope I can try, but... 1) I’ve never seen the frozen coconut 2) I will not use fake food Cool Whip 3) this house came with an electric oven and every cake gets browned on top within minutes! Ha Ha! You are charming and I appreciate the extra tips, like I’m learning from a friend! Baking 4 thin cake layers instead of trying to cut a layer in half is genius!!
Hey! Thx so much…making it your own is the fun of it all! Try checking for the coconut where frozen strawberries or pie crusts are located. Hope u enjoy!
I just watched your coconut cake video. I thank you and I love coconut and I will be making on.Thanks and God bless
Love the idea of church celebrating members Birthday.
Thx Karen Batastini! We feel that it is just a small way to make others ‘special day’ more meaningful & show we care! Love for one another is what it is all about!...right!??
Thanks from Az. Love coconut! Will make for next family get together!
Thx so much for watching! Let me know how they like it!
My best friend made for me.. Sour Cream & Sugar mixed together, and we dipped fresh Strawberries 🍓 in it…. She wanted me to guess what it was 🤷♀️ Wow, I would have never guessed. It was amazing!! When I heard Alexa’s alarm, I couldn’t figure out what “my” Alexa was trying to tell me 🤣. I absolutely LOVE Coconut too… can’t wait to try this.
Oh!!!.. Wish you would have cut a piece for us to see the “inside”..& how moist it is!! Looks Yum!!🙌🙌💗💗🙏🙏👍👍😍🤗😋

Thanks for watching and subscribing!
A beautiful cake and a beautiful lady. Thank you for this recipe. Happy Birthday to your father-in-law also!🎂
Nancy, really enjoyed. I plan on making this tonight for Easter Sunday with family. Thanks!
Hello Kevin Waldron! So glad u did and hope all went well...plz let me know! Thx for watching!
@@southernthings114 Nancy it was a huge hit! Not a piece left. Thabk you.
As a Sunday treat we always had a snow cake bought from a shop we loved it , can’t imagine what it would be like to have a slice of your cake I will be dreaming about it tonight .best wishes from South Wales UK
Thanks for watching!! Hope u feel i spired to try making ur own ‘snow cake’! What a lovely name for such a delectable cake…🥰
I enjoyed your segment can’t wait to try it. Thank you.
Thank u for watching Lisa Johnson! I am sure u will love it...as I said it is very popular here! Let me know how it turns out plz!
I wish you could show a piece cut, but I wll 😂ait until my cake is ready Monday. It looks wonderful!!! I am a messy cook and always have a lot to clean up with coconut 😂esp. my cake looks like yours and I toasted some coconut for the top🎉. I also had coconut cream and it worked too.
That's OK, make it your own !! All we use is Dunkin Hines !!
It looks delicious 😋 Thank you for sharing !
Thank u for watching!! It is the most delicious cake ever…never fails to b a favorite!
I love coconut cake. This reminds me of Pepperigfarms frozen cake.
Good if u love coconut cake it is definite u should give it a try! Best recipe i have ever eaten!! Truthfully it is better than the frozen one…i used to eat that as a kid too! Thx for watching!
I enjoyed watching and I feel inspired to make a 2 layer one, as I only have 2 round cake pans. More veidos please.
Awww! So glad to hear that! Thx for watching…ck out some of my other desserts on channel! Just be aware if u make 2 layers they r not able to ‘soak up’ as much of that luscious filling as easily but u can easily slice those 2 into 4!(they dont have to b perfectly even as u will never know once cool whip icing is applied! If still prefer 2 layers, the longer it sits the better will become…maybe just poke some holes in the layers to help filling penetrate. Wish u the best!!
Well, Crow! How fortuitous to come by this channel out of the blue. My daughter-in-law's B-day is coming up and she loves coconut! I'm going to try this cake! Thanks for being here in my time of need! LOL I guess I never thought of using 4 pans. I always just used dental floss to cut the layers. I've even cut two layers into 10 when I made a cake called Sacher Torte. Chocolate upon chocolate. Almost too rich to eat, but we forced ourselves! haha!
Awesome News! Happy Birthday to ur daughter! Thank u for watching! Enjoy!
I have other videos with coconut as well so when u have time please check them out! If u havent guessed already, coconut is my fave too! 😁
Looks delicious. I'm making this for Christmas dinner.
It is sure to b a hit! And u will love how easy it is! Thx for watching!
Yay Aunt nancy gooooo Nancy!!😁💜
Thx Ricky and Jo!
Loved your coconut cake recipe😊
Awww! Thank u so much...glad u enjoyed it!! Thx for subscribing!
Hi Nancy congratulation on your first video your cake looks delicious I would added a shot of rum to the filling just saying.
Thank you and that is a great idea!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Great! It’s so easy but yet sooooo yummy! Always a favorite no matter where it goes! Thx for watching! Hope u can check out some of the others on my channel.
I like coconut recipe good luck for your future i like your efforts make more videos like this type ❤😍👍👍
Thank u so much for watching & the encouragement! I hope to get back to my youtube channel very soon.
Hi Nancy, Good luck with your channel.
I will make this for my daughter's bday next week. I think ur cool.
Thank u! I hope she enjoyed the cake!
Is that sweetened condensed coconut milk are just plain coconut milk
Just plain coconut milk…sorry didn’t make that clear! Thx for asking!
Hi Nancy, I made your cake almost 2 years ago. It was delicious! Thank you. I wanted to make it lately, looked everywhere for the frozen coconut, I believe they don't make it anymore. What do you recommend using, being that you make this cake often and that you're known for it. Thanks
I use cream of coconut and condense milk for my filling
i think you dine a great job,
Thank u so much for those words of encouragement! And thx for watching!
I just found your Channel a couple of nights ago & have been watching & enjoying your videos!! I noticed that you haven’t posted in 6 months, I hope all is well & I hope that you will be doing more videos real soon. Thank you!! 💜♥️
Awww thx so much! Yes we have had a few hiccups in the road but hopefully will get back to making videos in the next month. U don’t know how much the encouragement helps me to push even harder.
God bless and thx again!
Lovely enjoyed 🙏🏼
Thank u!! Hope u can try it…sooo delicious!
Beautiful,!,,,
Thank you
Is the coconut milk from the regular grocery store? I am not in the south, so i am just trying to get the right thing. I wonder if mexican cream of coconut would work as i saw thar….. that cake and all of your tecipes and sharing your culture with us. ☮️
Yes it is just canned coconut milk from grocery store…big lots also carries this in their baking isle. It isn’t mandatory to use in the cake mix as u can just follow the box cake mix directions. I just prefer the richness it lends to the mix flavor. The mexican cream of coconut sounds like it would work!
I appreciate your comment & watching my video. If there are any other questions please ask!
Looks yummy
Thx! It is out of this world! Hope u can try it sometime.😊
Hey Nancy!!!!! Its Persephanie 🥰
Hey Sephy! Thanks for watching!
Looks soo good😍😁
Can't wait to make this 😍 thanks
Wonderful & hope u enjoy! Thx for watching!
More is definitely better!
You are so right!! Thanks for joining me!
When I flour the pan .. I dump the extra flour into the other pans..just saying, saves a mess and flour…
I'm wondering if using white cake mix would make it more like a coconut cake
I have used the white and yellow cake mix and tastes same….i sometimes put a little coconut favoring or emulsion in the mix! I c what u mean about looking more like color of coconut but honestly doesnt make that great of a difference. Whatever u choose it will be delicious! 😁
If you use wooden scuers it will hold the layers so they won't move
Thx Phoebe! Great idea!
Nice video dear
Thanks!! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
😃
You are so Beautiful. You look like Debbie Reynolds...and You make Great cakes too....
Thank u…she was a great actress. I just hope to help others cultivate their interest in baking!
Good job
Thanks
Good job!!! Thanks
Thank u for the kind comment & for watching! Please check out my other videos when u need a quick, easy dessert!😊
What is that thing with the handle hanging on the cabinet to left of the sink? The cake looks wonderful. Hope to make it soon.
Thx! Hope u find time to try it.
That is a vintage ice crusher!
If you'll put toothpicks through the layers, your cake 🍰 won't slide.😊
Looks delicious!
Thank u! It not only looks delicious but tastes out of this world! Hope u can try it sometime!
Do you still do videos? I enjoyed watching! I will try soon. My favorite is coconut.😊
@@gloriafulghum1255 yes it has been a while since putting out a new one but i do have several on my channel! I truly hope it works out for me to get another one out very soon. Please subscribe & hit the bell so u will b alerted when i am able to get a new one on here! Thx so much for watching & commenting…your encouragement is much appreciated!
This looks so yummy!
Are you using only 8 Oz of sour cream? On the video it looks like more like 16 Oz.
Thank u! Yes i use 8oz of sour cream…the container may have been a 16 oz but only dip out half of it! It is the best cake and sooo easy! No matter where i am asked to bring a dessert they always say i hope it is the coconut cake u r bringing!!😁
Thx for watching!
Can you replace the coconut in the middle layers with pineapple?
I imagine that would also be delicious! Haven’t tried it personally, but I think even both together would be a tropical delight!
How about a coconut cream pie?
I am sorry took so long but I hope you have already found the coconut cream pie video I did because of your request! Thanks for the idea!
Very nice 👍 thanks I subscribed you to have your videos 🤗🌹
Thx so much!!
Could you make a sheet cake with this recipe?
I don’t think u will get the goodness of the filling soaking in between the layers. The fillings soaks into the layers as it sits and just makes everything so much better! I have another one I may need to put on here with coconut pour over icing for a sheet cake! Thanks for reminding me!!
You got 4 layers from one box of cake mix? Thanks.
Yes! They are thin layers(but not too thin!) so the filling can penetrate & make them yummy!! Hope u get a chance to try!
Thanks for watching!
It looks like cornbread
Trust me far from cornbread! 🤣🤣
Hi
Hello!
Should I use 8” or 9” round pans? Thank you-
I use 9” but either is fine…I do 9’s do cake isnt so high n u get a few more slices as well! Let me know how you like it??
Looks good but video 2 slow
Could not see much of how you finesh it
We can't see the cake
could not see the plate
So sorry…this was one of my first video and there is a bit of a learning curve when u r the only one doing video & camera! Hope things improve as i go along and will do my best to focus camera more on work. Thx for watching!
101views:o
Wonderful!!!
I just read cuz can't see ur camera clear learn to set ur Camera to see what ur cooking. ITS NOT IMPORTANT TO SEE U ITS WHAT UR COOKIN
Thx for ur comment! I did realize with my first couple videos u could not c the bowl but is a learning curve for sure! I don’t have a camera person either which makes more difficult to keep resetting. Thx for watching!
Hmmm! It looks like you're more interested in your face being on camera than showing the cake. You were at 30 minutes before we saw the whole cake. Not a good video.
So sorry u feel that way but it is not true at all! Much easier to position a camera if u have help but unfortunately i dont! I only did these videos with the intent of helping others…if u knew me u would know how hard it was for me to actually put myself on video. U have some wanting to see who is talking & others want to watch a bowl. It is difficult to find a happy medium and these were my very first attempts. Again sorry u didnt like it, but i wish the very best!
@@southernthings114 you were great!
Man you talk to much
