I miss your mother. I miss her soft voice. It's been more than four years since I watched her make this cake. Finally I mustard up the nerve to follow your mother's recipe to make this cake. As a black child even into adulthood all i knew was how to cook and to bake like my mother and her mother's mother whom are in heaven. I really love that your mother reminds me of days gone by. As a southern girl, I don't want to call your mother by her first name, I'll call her Mrs. Phyllis, because she has earned that endearment. I truly respect and miss your mother.
Thank you Steven for keeping your Mom's videos for us to see. It is still such a blessing. Love her recipes❤, and i love to watch her. God bless you and yours🙏🙏🙏🙏
I made this coconut cake a year ago for my family members housewarming and they’re love it. But never know or pay attention the top of video that Phyllis passed away. My condolences to her family 🙏
My mom used to make this cake for me because she knew it was my favorite. Same egg white icing that I never could wrap my head around how she made it. She passed in 2008, so I watched every minute of this video. It was food for my heart and soul. How many times I stood in the kitchen and watched her make it and the time spent watching this was like watching her make it all over again.
It is my grandma's coconut cake exactly. Memories of Christmases long ago and though there were a good amount of desserts for our large family gathering, everyone oohed and aahed over grandma's coconut cake. Almost everyone has gone on to glory now, but that cake is a memory of magic.
Dear Phyllis, I am a chef and did not concentrate too much on baking. I do remember a homemade coconut cake from my grandmother which I loved!!! I had a 60th birthday Party to cater for a man who loved coconut. I used your recipe and got SO many praises!! This cake is amazing!!!! Thank you for posting it
Germaine Batiste... Hi there I'm a baker too. I use self-rising flour no butter I use oil.. My cake comes out very well and Moist!! Wish I could send you a picture of my Coconut Cake💛💛
Phyllis and Mr. Bucky are walking those golden roads in heaven. Her son is a very nice person. Hes going to continue her channel. He's adding his own favorite recipes and trying to put new ones up her hadn't added. I think this is fantastic. He talks like she did. A comforting voice. I shed a few buckets of tears as he was speaking of he. I'm not going to spoil what he's said, nor what he's adding. I will say, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for coming on her channel. I personally appreciate it. Have a blessed weekend. 🌿🌷🙏
@@amiedavis5257 hi Amie I guess God wanted them together I just loved them. I knew he had passed away. I don’t remember why do you? And I believe she had cancer maybe he did too but God let them go within four months of each other I believe there and having God bless their son.
@@starrfishhill yes, Mr Bucky died in his recliner there at the house. I believe he was having a nap. Phyllis did have cancer. Sadly, her daughter Renee died in 2009 as well. She and Mr Bucky took their kids on their honeymoon with them, it was a second marriage for both of them. I can't imagine being married to someone for over 30 years and losing them. I've been married for 18 years and it has flown by.
This is it!!! I have been looking for this cake and recipe for years! When you said the icing got hard, my heart dropped! Thank you soooo much. Cant wait to surprise my sister with this during the holidays! It will take us back to grandmas house! A lifetime of wonderfull memories!
This is the coconut cake recipe that my grandma always made for me when I would come to visit! The tears were streaming as I was remembering the memories!
That looks amazing! My great grandmother use to make this cake. I'd give anything to have a slice right now! She passed away 12 years ago and i watched her as kid cook and bake and i learned all her recipes.. So thankful for the 16 years i got to spend with her.
I have a dear friend from the South who just loves coconut cake. This recipe reminds me of my childhood in the 50's in the midwest. I am going to surprise her, and try to make her a "real one" with your wonderful instructions, for her birthday, next week! I tried your Pineapple Cake and it was divine. I can't wait for her to taste this! Thank you!
I treasure her vids. She was such a sweet lady. I think it ll be two years since her passing and so i m really happy to watch and hear her voice. May she rest in God s arms. Thank you. Watching from Malta, Europe. X
Thank you for restoring my memories of Christmas with my Mother, this was her signature dessert. I can now make this treat for my family in her honor. You are an amazing cook.
Miss you so much Phyllis you were the sweetest lady and an amazing cook. God bless the family of Phyllis and Bucky thank you for stepping in for your precious Mother Steven
My Mom used to make this cake sometimes when we had the preacher for lunch on Sunday. So good. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Praying you are doing well. Hugs sweet lady!
Made this cake last month for my mother in law and it was a huge hit! Totally worth making everything from scratch. I will be keeping your recipe in mind for another special occasion.
My mother made german chocolate cake, seven layer jam cake, and all kinds of chocolate cakes, red velvet cake, but for my birthday, this is the cake i always asked for!!
I made this for Christmas and my family loved this. My mother used to make coconut layer cake at Christmas time so it was nice to have it again. You are a blessing girl!
Beautiful cake. Brought back memories of my childhood when I would go over my grandmother's house and see a big white coconut cake on the table that either she or my cousin made. I would love to lift the cake over and run my finger through the icing. OMG, delicious. You definitely put a smile on my face today. Thank you. I think their recipe was from the fifties too. I was a kid in the seventies when I first tried the cake and loooved it. I even made the cake once for my grandma when I was a teenager and she loved it. She's gone now, but this video made me remember an awesome time in my life. God Bless.
OMG thank you so much for this recipe. My grandmother made this when I was a kid in the 50s. I have searched for this recipe for years. It almost made me cry to finally get this recipe for this glorious cake. Thank you! Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I love coconut cake and I have a feeling that this cake will forever be my annual birthday cake! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes as well as your stories..I truly enjoy them!
Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it out! It's hard to believe that I actually watched a whole half hour long recipe video. It's your charm and captivating kind manner of speech.
I have been following this trying to make a friend her favorite cake. I didn't realize the sweet lady showing me how to make it had passed. Thank you for leaving her videos up for us. She is a pleasure to watch.
Dear Mrs Stokes this was the first recipe I clicked on looking for an old fashioned coconut cake it brought me to southern frugal I was so blessed in following yours and Mr Buckys adventures! Really miss watching you create great food! Hope to see you in the not to distant future cooking and recalling the old days! LOVE AND PRAYERS FOR YOUR RECOVERY!
So sorry to hear that she passed away.🥀Don’t worry her spirit lives on through her UA-cam followers along with her recipe.♥️From my kitchen to yours keep on cooking!
@@gaoshengcha9177 I don't quite know. It was my mother that did the baking. I do remember how she had to drain the Crushed Pineapple over night before she could mix it with the icing.
I was a professional cake decorator for years before I became a Caterer. If my table, the walls, my clothing and hands weren’t covered in various icings by the end of the day, I was doing something wrong! This looks delicious and I will be making it soon. Thank you for sharing!❤️
Thank you Phyllis, can't get no better than this , mama made this cake and I loved it! I was just sick about not getting her recipe and now I do, thanks girl I can't wait to make it🌷🌷
Great cake. I was born in 55. I was brouht up with this cake. Family members made it a lot. It was served a lot at church dinners. Great cake. Ive never made it
Was born 8/17/1947 i remember my grandmother making this cake when igot grown i made pineapple coconut icing for my cake in 1964 i started making coconut bread pudding i don,t cook much now had breast cancer 2yrs ago haven,t been the same
Mrs Phyllis is so dearly loved and missed an absolutely wonderful beautiful sweet soft spoken lady with such a beautiful soul she shall always be remembered with her amazing recipes with cooking and baking . Miss Phyllis 's cakes were absolutely beautiful made from scratch done with so much love and dedication ! ! Forever Loved ❤ and Remembered ! 😇
I reckon she is, Gail Gregg. Just yesterday I was listening to the radio and someone said -- you don't really die, only the body gives out --- the spirit survives ;-) Happy little thought! We miss you Miss Phyllis! We hope you're doing what you like to do up in Heaven! xoxo
The best recipe I have seen for my all time cake(coconut). I’m late to your compassion, kindness, channel and baking artistry, but I feel blessed to have finally found you. May you rest in love!
That's the way my Aunt used to make it and she passed away about 15 yrs ago. All her cakes recipes she kept in her head. And when she passed, all the recipes went with her and I thought I would never get her cake recipe with the egg white icing.. Thank you and God bless you for sharing. It brought many memories back!!!!!
This popped up on my homepage feed and I had to click on it! Reminds me so much of the early 60's and me, swinging my legs as I sat at the kitchen table and watched my grandma make coconut layer cakes (from scratch). The only downside, which I laugh at now, was her warning,"Don't touch that cake. It's for the church." The CHURCH?!!! (after I was sooo patient, lol). Great memories.
My mom use to make a coconut cake with the egg white icing and it was a holiday tradition. The last time I made it was Christmas before she passed and I forgot a step for making the icing. Thank you Phyllis your video was a big help!
This reminds me of my grandmother's coconut cake. She was well-known in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC for her love of baking and she was very good at it. She loved nothing more than to spend her weekends in the kitchen churning out so many wonderful pastries, pies & cakes. She had an orange twist doughnut that was my favorite, right up there with her melt in your mouth coconut cake. She won hundreds of blue ribbons and a television station in Raleigh did a short piece on her when she took first place in every baking category she entered (cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, etc.) I have so many of her recipes tucked away and now I want to go dig them all up and spend some time in the kitchen. I'm going to make your coconut cake this weekend and can't wait to taste it. Thanks for sharing this family recipe, I'm sure it will go in my recipe book as a "must-have dessert".
Girl! Bless your heart for posting this! I've always wanted to make my mom a good old fashioned coconut cake like her mom made. Gonna make it for her birthday. Thanks again!!
Phyllis, I LOVE coconut cake! I haven't had it since I was a little girl. My grandmother used to make it. She's long gone now. I bet she made hers just like you do. You are very precise in explaining how to do it. I'm thinking of trying it for Christmas. Wish me luck! Thank you. Looks delicious!
Oh my, now you've done it! I love coconut and pineapple. I might have to modify this one to add some pineapple to the cake and frost it with the coconut icing. Lord have mercy, I'm gonna gain weight with this cake since no one in my family likes coconut. I guess I could freeze some it to have at a later date, but who am I kidding - I'm going to enjoy every piece!
@@Enkaiiiiiii it probably is a can of crushed drained pineapples, add up to a 1/2 stick butter, dash of salt, 2 -3 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup sugar... boil that on low to med heat to thicken. Don't burn it. Let it cool...add between cake layers. Pinterest has similar recipes
HOLLY MOLLY! YES! I am crying my grandma use to make this cake every 1st Sunday! for the church of course the best cake ever. You are amazing putting these old recipes up there and I thank the lord for you may you live forever!
This is the first video I saw in your collection and it took me back to the days of my Aunt Bessie. She made the best coconut cake but she never taught me how to make it. Thanks for this video, I'm going to try it.
My grandmother from Alabama used to bake 3 layer coconut cakes for every family dinner, with the exception of Thanksgiving, when it was all about pies. I am absolutely delighted to get your treasured recipe! I just love you, Phyllis! God bless!
This is the best! My history with Southern women is that you really fuss over cakes. There is nothing better than the way it was intended. This is a special occasion cake indeed, but so worth the effort. Thanks so much for the recipe, directions & useful tips. I think this is even better than my Late Aunt Frances, although she did only use fresh coconut :)
Oh my dear angel Phyllis, how you bring back memories! Mommy used to make this same cake for us in the 50's too!! And, she always made it at Easter time with the green coconut nests cradling 3 jelly beans too. Since she cooked for big family, there was always a lamb cake with same boiled frosting patted down with coconut. And on our Birthdays, she used the same coconut covered boiled frosting tinted pink on our doll cake's big skirts. Your sweet son is precious for keeping this channel up and able to continue sharing you with all us late comers. Bless you son! Merry Christmas!
My mom use to make a cake and icing like this for my dad. She used black walnuts in the icing-was my dad’s favorite cake! I wish I had a cake like that again.
My husbands favorite cake that his mom made. I was scared to make it but after watching you with your good instructions , I think I just might try it. Thank you kindly for your video.
At some point in time in my childhood, I'm 70, someone made this cake with three layers or jam filling and pineapple, orange and raspberry filling in the layers. I never forgot it!
Miss you a lot, miss Phyllis. So glad I got to experience your joy so many years ago while you were still here with us. Thank you so much to the family for keeping these videos up and going. My favorite is still that DELICIOUS pineapple upside down cake! Every recipe I ever tried from SouthernFrugal was amazing, and I’ll still be trying more. The gift that keeps on giving. So much love to your family.
It takes a whole lot of Patience and TLC .. is what I'll say! 😍 I love coconut cake but, I'm not into baking. "Won't you be my neighbor?" I'll do the dishes!!! ♥️
I have the ability to taste cake through the computer, I have eaten five slices of your cake with a lil Vanilla Ice cream. It is just what I thought it would taste like. DONE GOOD. Thank you.
Nina Nona I live the lemon filling myself. My mom use to make 3 later lemon cake for me plus she would make the home made ice cream. To have for birthday party. I miss it so much. I didn't take to making cakes but u did for the cream and fruit pies. Hmm yum yum
To Die for! Many copy your YT channel....None Compare....your grandchildren & daughter in law....lost a treasure in her 50’s life lessons...and daily respect for God as reflected in her loving sons continuation of thevStokes...tradition with his devotion on Sundays...and scripture study...he is passing on Miss Phyllis ‘s legacy. I miss her....Thank God her son and children have met our dearly loved recipes and demonstration no....with healthy eating and Money saving tips for everyday life. Love every video. Thanks to “The Colnel” for continuing her precious voice that we can all share and learn new content from her son. & lovely grown patriotic children.
You made my favorite cake of all time, it brings such sweet memories. I appreciate watching this video more than you know. It's the holidays and seeing this awesome cake reminds me of loved ones no longer here. All the food used to be laid out with the tables bursting with good food omg pies and cakes all homemade. Happy holidays. 🌟🙏
Miss you dearly sweet lady in heaven looking down on us. Your son is special who continued your legacy.. You must be so proud of him. Will see you again someday.. Forever in our thoughts.
Gale Martin oh my I hadn’t heard this last time I seen Mrs Phyllis she was still not feeling well but I didn’t know she passed I am so sorry she was very precious and such a kindred soul 🙏🏾
When did Miss Phyllis pass away? I never heard anything about that. I was just watching her wonderful white cake recipe and was beginning to text her and I seen that she passed. I'm so sorry to hear that. She was such a beautiful lady. She is where she wants to be, with Mr. Bucky. I will miss her, but will continue to use her recipes. I'll have to get my recipe books out and start writing them down before they are deleted. Thank you for letting us know about Miss Phyllis.
@@peggybouley9730 She passed on January 25th. Her son has posted probably 5 videos since then. He is sharing his memories and starting more cooking videos to keep her channel alive.
Peggy Bouley Whenever I come across ANY wonderful videos on UA-cam, I use a program that allows for not only downloading a specific video, but also any ‘play list’. Of course, these are for my personal use for later on down the road, and if any reason comes up for me to want to ‘share’, I make sure it’s okay first with the uploader, even if I am just wanting to send a copy of a video say to my sister or best friend. For that, though, I would usually just do the ‘forward the link’ thingy by email. But I have THOUSANDS of movies, documentaries, cooking videos, and much more, tucked away on at least TWO hard drives for later viewing, good-time viewing for when I become bed-ridden due to old age. Life is good, and God is wonderful.
Hi Phyllis. I am happy to have found your channel with recipes from the '50s. Thank you for being relaxed when you are baking. It's also nice to know the measurements and possible options for different flavors, such as in the jello and cream cheese dessert.
What a beauuuuuutiful coconut cake! My beloved Papa, Elmer Randolph, who passed on to be with The Good Lord in 2004 used to make a coconut cake with fresh coconut too! That was his culinary pride! Mrs. Phyllis' legacy will certainly carry on.
I'm so excited to find this recipe! My daddy has been wanting one of his momma's coconut cakes! This is it! Can't wait to make it for him. I remember watching her do this so I know I have found the one. TY❤😍❤
Phyliss, my Mom, may she Rest In Peace, used too making her homemade coconut cake like that, with the homemade Icing! Delicious! God Bless You for sharing 💜☮️🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your recipe looks delicious but the 50's recipe my Mom used had coconut milk in the batter and cream of coconut in the filling she put between 3 layers. She also used Swans Down cake flour which make a finely textured cake. She did make the meringue frosting or "7 minute" as she called it and topped with Baker's flaked coconut. It is the recipe I always use too.
This is very similar to the recipe my mother used, which was given to her by a woman who was almost 100 years of age in the late 1980s. It was a wonderful cake.
I really enjoy watching the videos it's like she is still here but knowing she is with God helps it just feels sad. She was one of the greatest teachers and so knowledgeable about so many things. I love you and miss you and Mr. Bucky but knowing your together with your daughter brings me peace. Bless the family and thanks Stephen for continuing her channel.
Just discovered this lady and her channel...I know she is no longer of this world..but now with her heavenly father and other family and friends. Her calm, warm voice,demeanor and baking prowess is awesome!..My dear mother used to make this cake at Xmas along with a caramel layer...oh the memories...one thing..back then..my brother and myself used to help take the shell off of a real coconut that my mother cracked...she would then grate the coconut.Thank you for this heavenly recipe and as the famous songstress Minnie Ripperton used to sing," Back down Memory Lane❤❤
I miss your mother. I miss her soft voice. It's been more than four years since I watched her make this cake. Finally I mustard up the nerve to follow your mother's recipe to make this cake. As a black child even into adulthood all i knew was how to cook and to bake like my mother and her mother's mother whom are in heaven. I really love that your mother reminds me of days gone by.

We miss you Phyllis and I’m grateful your son carries on for you.RIP
She's got the most placid, relaxing, calming and peaceful voice and demeanor.
Thank you Steven for keeping your Mom's videos for us to see. It is still such a blessing. Love her recipes❤, and i love to watch her. God bless you and yours🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love watching her, I'm glad her son keeps her legacy going. 😍

Queen, that coconut cake is a prize winner.Great job!!!
That's the way my Aunt used to make it and she passed away about 15 yrs ago. All her cakes recipes she kept in her head. And when she passed, all the recipes went with her and I thought I would never get her cake recipe with the egg white icing.. Thank you and God bless you for sharing. It brought many memories back!!!!!
This popped up on my homepage feed and I had to click on it! Reminds me so much of the early 60's and me, swinging my legs as I sat at the kitchen table and watched my grandma make coconut layer cakes (from scratch). The only downside, which I laugh at now, was her warning,"Don't touch that cake. It's for the church." The CHURCH?!!! (after I was sooo patient, lol). Great memories.

Oh my goodness, that looks so good. This show has brought back so many memories. Thanks Phyllis.
I love the generous addition of heavy whipped cream in your cake recipe.
My mom use to make a coconut cake with the egg white icing and it was a holiday tradition. The last time I made it was Christmas before she passed and I forgot a step for making the icing. Thank you Phyllis your video was a big help!
My grandma used to make that cake in the 50’s as well. Boy do I wish had a piece right now. Phyllis you are a Gem!
Thank the Lord for this dear lady and the wonderful video of this amazing coconut cake. I will miss her.
This reminds me of my grandmother's coconut cake. She was well-known in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC for her love of baking and she was very good at it. She loved nothing more than to spend her weekends in the kitchen churning out so many wonderful pastries, pies & cakes. She had an orange twist doughnut that was my favorite, right up there with her melt in your mouth coconut cake. She won hundreds of blue ribbons and a television station in Raleigh did a short piece on her when she took first place in every baking category she entered (cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, etc.) I have so many of her recipes tucked away and now I want to go dig them all up and spend some time in the kitchen. I'm going to make your coconut cake this weekend and can't wait to taste it. Thanks for sharing this family recipe, I'm sure it will go in my recipe book as a "must-have dessert".
Dear me! This was mesmerizing- what a DELIGHTFUL woman. So sad she is gone. God bless her family.
Girl! Bless your heart for posting this! I've always wanted to make my mom a good old fashioned coconut cake like her mom made. Gonna make it for her birthday. Thanks again!!
God rest her soul with her soft voice ❤❤❤
I just watched this video to hear your voice, Miss Phyllis, God Bless You!
Coconut cake is one of my favorite it was my mother and my Grandma's favorite as well. Got to watch Mrs Phyllis Stokes make this cake
Phyllis, I LOVE coconut cake! I haven't had it since I was a little girl. My grandmother used to make it. She's long gone now. I bet she made hers just like you do. You are very precise in explaining how to do it. I'm
thinking of trying it for Christmas. Wish me luck! Thank you. Looks delicious!

I love the simplicity! Back in 50’s everything was simple not many utensils, ingredients, and bake pans 😊
My momma made the same cake with pineapple filling and it was my favorite cake! That looks so delicious!
Judy Gould my mom did too!! And she grated the coconut and reserved the liquid for me to drink. Not much taste🤷🏾♀️
Judy Gould pianapple cake
Oh my, now you've done it! I love coconut and pineapple. I might have to modify this one to add some pineapple to the cake and frost it with the coconut icing. Lord have mercy, I'm gonna gain weight with this cake since no one in my family likes coconut. I guess I could freeze some it to have at a later date, but who am I kidding - I'm going to enjoy every piece!
Judy Gould do you have the filling recipe?
@@Enkaiiiiiii it probably is a can of crushed drained pineapples, add up to a 1/2 stick butter, dash of salt, 2 -3 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup sugar... boil that on low to med heat to thicken. Don't burn it. Let it cool...add between cake layers.

HOLLY MOLLY! YES! I am crying my grandma use to make this cake every 1st Sunday! for the church of course the best cake ever. You are amazing putting these old recipes up there and I thank the lord for you may you live forever!
This is the first video I saw in your collection and it took me back to the days of my Aunt Bessie. She made the best coconut cake but she never taught me how to make it. Thanks for this video, I'm going to try it.
My grandmother from Alabama used to bake 3 layer coconut cakes for every family dinner, with the exception of Thanksgiving, when it was all about pies. I am absolutely delighted to get your treasured recipe! I just love you, Phyllis! God bless!
This is the best! My history with Southern women is that you really fuss over cakes. There is nothing better than the way it was intended. This is a special occasion cake indeed, but so worth the effort. Thanks so much for the recipe, directions & useful tips. I think this is even better than my Late Aunt Frances, although she did only use fresh coconut :)

I just found you and now your gone, what a sweetheart, God bless. Will continue to watch. R.I.P.
Such a beautiful cake and memory. .this was also my birthday cake growing up..thanks so much Phyllis:)
Oh my dear angel Phyllis, how you bring back memories! Mommy used to make this same cake for us in the 50's too!! And, she always made it at Easter time with the green coconut nests cradling 3 jelly beans too. Since she cooked for big family, there was always a lamb cake with same boiled frosting patted down with coconut. And on our Birthdays, she used the same coconut covered boiled frosting tinted pink on our doll cake's big skirts.
Your sweet son is precious for keeping this channel up and able to continue sharing you with all us late comers. Bless you son! Merry Christmas!
This reminds me of my mother's beautiful coconut cakes! Thank you!!
My mom use to make a cake and icing like this for my dad. She used black walnuts in the icing-was my dad’s favorite cake! I wish I had a cake like that again.
My mother also make coconut cake like this but used fresh coconut. Took a long to time to make but oh, so delicious!! (Had to grate the coconut).
My mom used to fix this one too. Same frosting and everything, but she'd make a lemon 'filling' for the layers on between. YUM! 🥰
My husbands favorite cake that his mom made. I was scared to make it but after watching you with your good instructions , I think I just might try it. Thank you kindly for your video.
Miss this soft spoken lady and her husband, Bucky. Both in peace.
At some point in time in my childhood, I'm 70, someone made this cake with three layers or jam filling and pineapple, orange and raspberry filling in the layers. I never forgot it!
loving your backing style. no fuss, no muss. just get it done. bravo
Beautiful and moist looking cake. I wish I had a slice of the cake. The LORD'S Will, I will make a Coconut Cake for one of the Holidays!
I miss you so much!!!
Your recipes take me back to my grandmother's kitchen! this was my grandfather and my dad's favorite cake. Love, love, love!

Miss you a lot, miss Phyllis. So glad I got to experience your joy so many years ago while you were still here with us. Thank you so much to the family for keeping these videos up and going.
My favorite is still that DELICIOUS pineapple upside down cake! Every recipe I ever tried from SouthernFrugal was amazing, and I’ll still be trying more. The gift that keeps on giving. So much love to your family.
It takes a whole lot of Patience and TLC .. is what I'll say! 😍
I love coconut cake but, I'm not into baking. "Won't you be my neighbor?" I'll do the dishes!!! ♥️
I have the ability to taste cake through the computer, I have eaten five slices of your cake with a lil Vanilla Ice cream. It is just what I thought it would taste like. DONE GOOD. Thank you.
My Mississippi Mama used to make this cake for my daddy. It had a lemon curd filling between the layers. It was his favorite cake.
Nina Nona I live the lemon filling myself. My mom use to make 3 later lemon cake for me plus she would make the home made ice cream. To have for birthday party. I miss it so much. I didn't take to making cakes but u did for the cream and fruit pies. Hmm yum yum

Miss you dearly sweet lady in heaven looking down on us. Your son is special who continued your legacy.. You must be so proud of him. Will see you again someday.. Forever in our thoughts.
So sorry to hear Miss Phyllis has passed. But she's with Jesus and her beloved Mr. Bucky. See you later Miss Phyllis. 🙏🙏🌺🌸
Gale Martin oh my I hadn’t heard this last time I seen Mrs Phyllis she was still not feeling well but I didn’t know she passed I am so sorry she was very precious and such a kindred soul 🙏🏾
When did Miss Phyllis pass away? I never heard anything about that. I was just watching her wonderful white cake recipe and was beginning to text her and I seen that she passed. I'm so sorry to hear that. She was such a beautiful lady. She is where she wants to be, with Mr. Bucky. I will miss her, but will continue to use her recipes. I'll have to get my recipe books out and start writing them down before they are deleted. Thank you for letting us know about Miss Phyllis.
Amen!
@@peggybouley9730 She passed on January 25th. Her son has posted probably 5 videos since then. He is sharing his memories and starting more cooking videos to keep her channel alive.
Peggy Bouley Whenever I come across ANY wonderful videos on UA-cam, I use a program that allows for not only downloading a specific video, but also any ‘play list’. Of course, these are for my personal use for later on down the road, and if any reason comes up for me to want to ‘share’, I make sure it’s okay first with the uploader, even if I am just wanting to send a copy of a video say to my sister or best friend. For that, though, I would usually just do the ‘forward the link’ thingy by email. But I have THOUSANDS of movies, documentaries, cooking videos, and much more, tucked away on at least TWO hard drives for later viewing, good-time viewing for when I become bed-ridden due to old age. Life is good, and God is wonderful.
Thanks Phyllis..For Leaving Us Such A Delicious Southern Coconut Cake...Your Recipes Are Awesome...RIP
Hi Phyllis. I am happy to have found your channel with recipes from the '50s. Thank you for being relaxed when you are baking. It's also nice to know the measurements and possible options for different flavors, such as in the jello and cream cheese dessert.
She’s passed away now
What a beauuuuuutiful coconut cake! My beloved Papa, Elmer Randolph, who passed on to be with The Good Lord in 2004 used to make a coconut cake with fresh coconut too! That was his culinary pride! Mrs. Phyllis' legacy will certainly carry on.
I'm so excited to find this recipe! My daddy has been wanting one of his momma's coconut cakes! This is it! Can't wait to make it for him. I remember watching her do this so I know I have found the one. TY❤😍❤
Phyliss, my Mom, may she Rest In Peace, used too making her homemade coconut cake like that, with the homemade Icing! Delicious! God Bless You for sharing 💜☮️🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your recipe looks delicious but the 50's recipe my Mom used had coconut milk in the batter and cream of coconut in the filling she put between 3 layers. She also used Swans Down cake flour which make a finely textured cake. She did make the meringue frosting or "7 minute" as she called it and topped with Baker's flaked coconut. It is the recipe I always use too.
This is very similar to the recipe my mother used, which was given to her by a woman who was almost 100 years of age in the late 1980s. It was a wonderful cake.
I really enjoy watching the videos it's like she is still here but knowing she is with God helps it just feels sad. She was one of the greatest teachers and so knowledgeable about so many things. I love you and miss you and Mr. Bucky but knowing your together with your daughter brings me peace. Bless the family and thanks Stephen for continuing her channel.
RIP MY DEAR SWEET LADY, WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH!
miss this lady
Exactly how my grandmother made it! Excellent Phyllis, Excellent!
Just discovered this lady and her channel...I know she is no longer of this world..but now with her heavenly father and other family and friends.
