      was the cake too sweet with the sweetened coconut, considering the large amount of sugar already I the cake? I was wonder if I could use unsweetened instead because I'm worried about it being too sweet

    My aunt used to make a coconut cake for all the members in her family for their birthdays. She had a beautiful special plate she put it on. After she passed away my grandmother gave the plate to me. When we moved it got smashed. I was heart broken. Your cake reminds me of the ones she'd make. Thanks for the childhood memory of her.

    My Mom’s Coconut Cake with pineapple between the layers was my favorite, my daughter in law and I made it for Christmas one year and decorated it with sugared holly leaves and sugared cranberries, it just looked to elegant. The icing was the 7 minute icing….

    Just finished making this cake. I am not an avid baker, but it turned out really well. Wasn't hard to do. The taste test ia yet to come tonight. Well, I did sample the icing, and a crumb or two of the cake "accidentally" came off while I was icing it! Absolutely delicious.

    I haven't cooked in a long time but after seeing the coconut cake recipe and the lemon curd recipe I decided to try to make it!
    The cake is out of the oven and looks very good. I've made the lemon curd for between the layers and will make the frosting in the morning and put this coconut cake with lemon curd between the layers together. So far I am so impressed with the ease of the directions and with the video it was a breeze to make. I am so happy with the results. THANK YOU! ❤

    My all time favorite cake for more than 50+ years!!!
    I often will add a layer of lemon curd on mine or layer in sliced organic strawberries (infused in coconut rum) on top of the frosting between the layers.
    You should look into Buko pie.... its a layered sliced coconut pie popular in the Philippines I fell in love with them when I lived there...
