I just don't know what to think of someone who doesn't like the texture of coconut. I like the taste, texture, color, smell, weight, height, nationality, race, creed...I just like everything about coconut. One of God's greatest creations. Thank you for this recipe. Simple but looks delicious. I'll definitely be making this one.
Love it. :)
I HATE coconut. Like Catherine's husband I like the flavor but HATE the texture. Chewy, chewy, chewy -- ugh!
Preach it Sister, preach it.
I love everything about coconut except the artificial smell in some shampoos & conditioners
.
I bet if you used coconut milk instead of the milk, you’d be in coconut heaven.
@Bruno - I think she's suggesting using canned coconut milk instead of regular milk with the cake mix before baking to infuse even more coconut flavor to the cake itself. But if anyone has tried that Coco Lopez cream of coconut before it is MUCH more strongly coconut flavored than regular coconut milk. It is most often used for those super coconutty mixed drinks like pina coladas. It's intense. So having that all through the middle of the cake through the fork holes is plenty.
I made another very similar coconut cake with this Coco Lopez before (for a Moana-themed birthday for my little girl) and it was the most coconut-flavored, moist delicious thing! I had forgotten about it until seeing her open the can in this video! We'll be making this version tomorrow. 🙂
@@dorigutman6217your right. She was saying using coconut milk in the cake batter. Your also right about the coconut cream being plenty of coconut flavor. A Moana themed bday party sounds so cute and coconut flavored cake would have been perfect.
Oh my God that sounds amazing!! I'm def gonna give your idea a try!!
Sounds delicious
That looks delicious, I'm gonna make it in a couple days for company. I don't ever use cool whip anymore I make my own with cream. Sooo much better for you and much tastier. My family loves it.
Today is my sister's birthday. She is 71. I'm making this coconut cream cake just for her. She loves it and we haven't had it in a long time.
I think I will add a light topping of toasted coconut just for looks. It looks delicious and I’m making tonight!
That will def take it up a notch. I love toasted coconut too
For me it would definitely be toasted coconut! I'm with the husband on this and raw coconut would ruin the cake for me!
My wife has been making this for years and it is the best cake I have ever eaten. Yours looks exactly the same. Her birthday is July 16 and this is what I'm making her!
I have made this for a long time but I add a can of crush pinapple after the cream of coconut and before icing. It make a delicious pineapple coconut cake. You must try it.
Ohhh, I’ll have to try it.
Yessss. This is what I was thinking.. piña colada!
I used half of coconut cream and condensed milk. Found it was to much for 9x13. Tasty
This is a fabulous cake! I almost never use cake mix, I think they taste fake. But in this recipe, cake mix tastes like heaven! Add a little vanilla extract to help boost the natural flavor, and use melted butter like Catherine does in the video. I also never use cool whip - only natural whipped cream, please! - except in this cake. It is so easy, holds up well in the fridge, and tastes divine! If you like coconut, this cake will be a crowd pleaser.
Have you tried Trader Joe's vanilla cake mix? It doesn't have that fake taste. Also, if you do use a cake mix, always substitute butter for oil and milk or half and half for water and it makes a big difference! Agree about never using cool whip, but I see how this would work for a lot of people just trying to whip out a dessert for friends and family!
I never had cool whip but i don't think I like it.
Also use milk, half & half, or half cream\milk instead of water.
I love that your hubby is involved!
Just found this video. I love coconut. My Dad was in the South PACIFIC during WWII. He had never eaten coconut and his first introduction was ripened on the tree. He bought us fresh coconut every year. I cannot wait to make this.
I'm glad you opened that can of cream of coconut in front of us. I've never used that and I would have thought something is wrong with this!
I can understand that.
@@CatherinesPlates Yes, thank you. I learn a lot from you. Like the cocoa powder tip in this same video.🙂
You can put the can in warm water to melt it before opening it.
I made this cake with dark chocolate cake mix and it tastes like a mounds candy bar
Oh YUM!!! There's a Ice Cream shop near by that has mounds ice cream... To die for!!!
I love coconut i grow up eating coco every week i come from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 we have 2 coco palms 🌴 in our back yard and my father used to go up to get the coco the young coco are delicious i miss those days😢😢😢😢
This is cake would be great with Duncan Hines Pineapple cake mix. A sprinkle of crushed pineapple with the coconut. Yummy
That sounds really delicious with pineapple.
SOUNDS SO DELICIOUS 😋 😍
I mix crushed pineapple in with the coconut cream and condensed milk. It’s a family favorite!
@@karabarre7422 thx for the tip
And rum or rum extract and your have a Pina Colada cake! Yummy!
I've been making this for at least 40 years and the Cream of Coconut has always been in the liquor aisle at my Walmart and the grocery stores I used to buy it from. I already planned last week to make it for the missionaries. I had to laugh when this popped up on UA-cam tonight.
I made this yesterday. My husband raved about it so much that he picked this as his birthday cake next month. It was"delish." Going to try the banana poke next. Glad I found you!!❤
Wonderful!
😊🎉😢😊🎉😢😊🎉😊 11:15
11:15 🎉
I would leave a strip of cake with the cool whip but not the coconut so those in my family who don't like coconut texture can still enjoy the cake. Yummo!!
THAT is how I would do it too!!! For the non coconut eaters!!
Oh my, it’s 10:15pm and I’m resisting the urge to go into the kitchen and make this cake right now. Looks soooo good. I am definitely going to make this cake. Thanks!!
You're welcome.
Hi Katherine! I've made a similar recipe for years and it's ALWAYS a hit. For extra coconut flavor I add a little coconut extract into the cake batter. I love this recipe so much! 🥥☕🧡
We always keep ours in the fridge. Seems to really make the coconut taste pop!
Love the hubby's comments and delight in anticipation!
I HATE THE DRY COCONUT, BUT IF YOU GET THE FROZEN COCONUT IT IS DELICIOUS! YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE COCONUT MILK IN A SEPARATE BOWL WITH SMALL AMOUND OF COCONUT & POKE HOLES IN THE CAKE & DRISSLE THE JUICE ON EACH LAYER BEFORE ICING THE CAKE..YUMMY!💖🎂💖🎂🍰💖🎂💖🙏💖🍰🙏💖🍰GOD BLESS, & THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!💖🙏💖
Wow that looks like heaven! Coconut cake is our favorite!
I love that your hubby’s talking and helping you. ❤️ looks delicious. My hubby and I are eating your spaghetti taco bake while watching this.
This is going to be one of my favorite desserts! I really enjoy coconut and this pushes every delicious button!!! Oh yeah!!👍😋🍰🥥🥥🍽
The only thing I would do differently is I would mix about some of the coconut into the CoolWhip Topping prior to putting it on the cake. Then cover the cake with more coconut. But I can't wait to try this as it sounds delicious! I may make for my mom's birthday.
Oh my God. That looks so good. I love coconut.
I love coconut and I'm definitely trying this. It looks delish!
Oh my Heavens, this looks so good. I can't wait to try this cake. God Bless you.
Oh, my goodness! I'm drooling! Wow! Looks so yummy! 😋

I made this last night for a Valentine’s get together and it was a BIG hit! So moist. It was delicious and so easy to make. Thank you, I love your videos💕
Oh my gosh. I was drooling while you were making it and then while you were eating it. My grown son loves anything coconut (even has coconut scented soap in his bathroom!)-he will just love it! Thank you !

One of my favorite cakes. It's a tie between this one and Tres leches. I've been looking for a recipe for this cake for a long time. Thanks, Catherine!
You are so welcome!
Mmmm, mmmm, this recipe looks so decadent, rich and delicious!!🥥🍰 Thank you for sharing!!👍⚘🍰
Looks like pure Heaven! Gonna try it !
Variations and results!
Background: I am a huge coconut fan and especially when it comes to coconut cake and coconut cream pie! My mother and grandmother used to make me both when I was a kid in elementary and high school. Today I am 51 and my mother is 87! 🙏We hadn't coconut cake in years and came across this recipe to try! We ended up making it 3 times with some variations each time.
1. We made one just as shown here, and we have never thought of ir used condensed milk. We did use the poke method with a wooden spoon over the fork method. We both found that condensed milk is overpowering, rich, and sweet. It was okay, but it was missing something!
2. Second attempt... same thing cake wise, although I added 1 cup of coconut flakes to my high power, high speed blender to chop very fine. This was then added to the cake batter. Also, I added 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to the batter along with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. As for the topping, we used 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to the can of coconut milk and can of condensed milk. It's was much better, but the condensed milk is overpowering.
3. Attempt 3: Batter a as prepared as above with butter instead or oil, milk instead of water, 1 teaspoon of coconut,1 cup of finely shredded coconut to the mix as well as 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. Love spices!
Topping used 1 1/2 cans coconut milk and 1/2 can of condensed milk and topped with cool whip and 1 cup coconut flakes.
We liked version 3, the best, and the condensed milk was not as Iverson bearing and rich. Far far better, especially if you are a coconut lover like us!
We are coconut-ed out at the moment, but in the near future, I do plan to try our version 3, but with a chocolate cake mmic!
Hope this gives everyone some ideas how you can adjust to your taste likes and flavors!!!
Sorry, didn’t see Dana’s comments referencing chopping coconut! It’s so much better that way!
Perhaps if you would prepare the cake using the tines of a fork instead of the wooden spoon the condensed milk might not be too overpowering. Just a thought. But thanks for your feedback so I won't use the spoon myself. Lol!

Wow that cake looks so delicious
Thank you! I’m going to make this for my mother in-law’s birthday. I loved the tres bellies comment from your hubby. That’s my favorite type of cake. I agree with that comment! Hilarious! 😄
Catherine, you gave the best advice on here about using room temperature eggs! It really makes the cake fluff up beautifully. Thank you 😎
I have been making this cake for 35 years and the only difference is you put in sweetened condensed milk and I only use the coconut cream. The best cake ever and always a family favorite. Especially at Christmas time. In my area the Coco Lopez cream is found in the liquor department.
Hmmm, hmmmm, Coco Lopez! I learned about that from a bartender who told me how to make piña colada’s at home. It would be perfect in this cake.
I’ve been making this for several years too. My mother in law gave me the recipe and she uses the coco Lopez coconut cream too! So yummy and super easy!
Me, too I love those cake. I just use one can coconut cream is all it needs just some sweetness in it. Mmmm so yummy.
Made this today and it’s definitely a keeper. Had made in the past without the cream of coconut but this version is the best! Yummy 😋
This cake looks AMAZING! My mom loves coconut cakes and pies. I will be sharing this video with her.
Thanks for sharing!! I know she will love it.
I'm definitely trying this one!! Thank you!!
Oh you just made me a happy girl!! Coconut is one of my favorite things. I really enjoy watching you.
Thanks so much for enjoying my videos. :)
My Mother in law used to make this but she would never tell me how! Now I know. Looking forward to making it myself. Thank you!
My pleasure 😊
I think I will make it today

Ohhh that was mean! Never could understand why anyone would refuse to share a recipe, or leave an ingredient out❤
@@terryzolnik1204 Exactly what I was going to say! Recently someone said it was common to leave an ingredient out when sharing a recipe so the other person's was never as good as yours. Horrible!! I'm always flattered when someone likes what I've cooked.
@@leapintothewild 😉me too Marijka!❤️
I love the Pepperidge Farm coconut cake but yours hands-down looks the best and probably tastes much better.
Adore Coconut !!!!!! Thank you 😊
I cannot wait to make this cake. Thank you so much for posting your video as I'm a coconut lover all the way!!!!
Give me lemon or coconut any time!!
Yum!! I’m so glad that I came across your video! Just in time for my husbands birthday! He’s going to love it!
That's awesome! please tell your husband that we said Happy Birthday!
I just found your channel and love how simple the ingredients are. I'm subscribing. ❤️
Thanks for subbing! I hope you enjoy many more of my recipes. :)
We love coconut cream anything, thanks for the receipt.
Coconut cake is my favorite cake. Looks like so much fun to make. I will save your recipe and make it. Thank you.
Thank you so much it’s really looks delicious,sending you blessings🙏🏽💕
Thank you.
You are a delight to watch! Mexican here learning about American desserts. Getting some ideas for my husband and I to try while on quarantine. Thank you! I also watched your video about the strawberry delight. A good one for sure!
Thank you for watching and I'm happy you enjoy my recipes.
My favorite cake of all time. Thank you for showing me an amazingly easy recipe. This will definitely be my cake around here.😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will certainly try it!
I actually rake the top crust completely off w a fork so that the liquids and toppings soak in Faster .. I also add a block of cream cheese to my cool whip and mix together... 🥰 its pretty amazing 😉✌
And I will use your tweets in the future !!) Looks delish !!)P. Thanks for sharing your recipe 😀👌
Did you add powdered sugar with the cool whip block of cream cheese.. Thanks using the cream cheese makes it thicker, right !? Sounds so yummy.Thanks.
@Theresa Baranski you def can add Powdered sugar.. but the cool whip has nought in it or me.. I've also added sweetened condensed milk. That is also great... honestly it can be tweeked about aNY way you want.. but I always make it 2 days ahead.. it sooo much richer and mouser if you can wait. Everything just melds together and it's just intense..
For those who think they don't like the texture of coconut, use flaked coconut as is used here, instead of shredded. Shredded always feels like I'm eating hair. Flaked is softer, I love it! I will be making this for sure!!
Hope you enjoy.
You just made me laugh in a good way, lol !! Bout what you said about tastes like your eating hair. My relative use to say that too. How funny. 🙂
My grandson and I love anything coconut wii try this! Thank you have a blessed day😊
Woww!! Thank you! That looks sooo delicious and very easy! I can't wait to make it.
Love this cake. In Texas at HEB they sell the "heavenly cake."
Looking so forward to trying this. Thank you!!!!!!
Heading out to store for ingredients for the coconut crème poke cake. Looks so yummy. I love coconut and so does my husband. I plan to take it to our church supper tomorrow. Also taking the American Goulash. Yummy! Can’t wait.
Made your recipe yesterday for company!!! It was a huge hit!!! It’s soooo good!!
Wonderful! I'm glad everyone liked it.
When I was a kid my mom made Jello cake just like this - she used white cake for this. She always whipped her own icing. It was SO GOOD!! As a kid I absolutely loved it. Sadly my mom is no longer here but she was the best cook ever (I guess I am a little biased) lol
Catherine, THANK YOU for your lovely videos featuring homestyle foods I enjoyed from my youth. God Bless You.
You are so welcome!
That dog towel is adorable!
Oh my this is way better then 3 leches , I love COCONUT 🥥, going to give it a try! Thank you so much for sharing 😍!
Hope you enjoy
I love coconut cake. You make such delicious recipes
Thank you.
Looks delicious, I’m trying this weekend. Thank you for sharing 😘
That looks amazing!! I'll have to make it soon!! Thank you!
My sister just made this. After not having power for twi days here in Texas..it was the best treat! Moist, delicious and coconutty! Thanks Catherine! We love your videos!
Wonderful! It was sure nice to have the power fully back on after the cold cold week. :)
I love this cake. It tastes even better the next day after sitting in the fridge. We sometimes put crushed pineapple on top and call it a pina colada cake.
Oh, what a great idea!!!
That sounds great..put it under the frosting on top of all the deliciousness...
U love all the desserts you make, thank you for sharing your recepie s
I love starting a cake, with a mix. I love the taste of the mix. I may use coconut extract, as well as the vanilla. Can't wait to try it.
The Coco Lopez makes great pina coladas! ❄️ 🍍 🥥 🦜🤩
I made it today and it is so yummy 😋
4/26/2022, making this for my Eid celebration, love everything coconuts!!!! Awesome job! Thank you for sharing💝
Catherine, I think you hit the nail on this one!
I love COCONUT Cake.. It's a family FAVORITE.. and forget about that PEPERAGE farm! ..the way you put together that CAKE looks SIMPLE enough to put together as well. I'm sure that it TASTES 100 times BETTER too! Anyhow, I have a SCRATCH recipe for Cake but with the same idea and METHODS you used .. I'm so excited to find a easier method that's Simple and not so complicated. Appreciate it. Thank you Catherine for SHARING.
Can't wait to try it and Share with others!🤗🌻😋🏡👍
I absolutely love anything coconut! You made my mouth water watching this! I gained 5 pounds! Lol. ❤ from Missouri everyone.
That is awesome! Thanks so much for watching.
You could also toast the coconut before adding it on...
I haven't even watch it yet and you have won my heart. Yummy!
Yay! Thank you! I hope you enjoyed watching.
Oh my gosh! This looks so good that it has to be illegal. Going to try it. Ty!😘
I tried this recipe at home and my daughter loved it. Your instructions were so simple to follow. I absolutely love it. I'm going to try another of your recipes.
I haven't come across a bad one yet.
