My Grandmother was famous in our hometown for making this cake. She did not use coconut extract but since she used fresh coconuts she would use the fresh coconut milk often. When the Birds Eye frozen coconut came out she started using it too. I am the only one in our family that learned to make her cake. I am going to have to try the cake you made today. This looks delicious just like Grandmother’s cake. ❤
I've never seen a coconut cake made this way. It's beautiful. I'm sure Mark is over the moon you made his mother's cake. Haven't heard The Gaithers sing in years. What a treat on top of a treat!!
Gosh, in real time this is an all day project! It looks wonderful and I'm glad you made a smaller one for you and Chris. I really enjoy watching you, you are real about what you are doing.
I gained 5 pounds just watching this. It looks like one of those things that you don't need to make room in the fridge for because it will never make it there. YUM!
I have made this cake 3 times since you posted it. The cake is so moist & the icing is amazing!! This tastes the most like old fashioned coconut cake of any I've had in decades! No wonder the GVB breaks down the door😁 Thanks for posting it.
My Mom made this cake and it was wonderfull. I lost her recipe so thank you for posting this video. I also remember getting fresh coconut, breaking the outer shell, pouring out milk, breaking into pieces, knifing the outer brown , then grating. My Mom had an old grater (probably worth $$ now. it fit the kitchen table rim, then turn the handle). I made your coconut cake for my husband's birthday, it was loved by all. can't wait to bake this recipe!!!
My Nannie always made a fresh coconut cake for my Dad on his birthday. He was her son in law, and she treated him royally! That cake was so, so good. This cake you made looks very special,too! The frosting looks decadent. 😋
I live about 20 minutes from the Gaithers in Alexandria & have seen them in concert multiple times. When their café was open, we used to go there to eat quite often. It was very good food.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Years ago I lost a cookbook that I only used for cakes, so Mark's cookbook sounds just right for me! Have fun at the concert!
This cake looks so good.my mama use to make her coconut cakes just like that and they were so good. I'm surely going to try making it soon.thanks for the recipe
Hi Tammy!!! This cake sure does look good. That's sure a different kind of frosting. You did good with these cakes. I know they are going to enjoy your cake... Great video!!!...🦋
Hi Tammy! The Gaithers are a long-time fave here, for sure! The cake looks awesome but is definitely different than the coconut cakes I'm familiar with. Can't wait to give it a try!! I know it will be good and that my crew will enjoy it, too! Thanks for the link and for another video too! 😊
Oh Tammy! I made this yesterday! Did a sheet cake cause I was afraid I would make a mess with that runny frosting! It is absolutely delicious! My husband has bragged on it several times! Thank you!❤
Did you follow the recipe in the description box and make any alterations? I really want to try this. I want to make it to take in a sheet cake pan and just cut and serve out do the pan. What size sheet pan did you use?
My Daddy used to make a fresh coconut cake every Christmas. I am the only one who knows how to cook it. But he beat egg whites and put them in the coconut milk sugar mixture and cooked it for a little while before putting it on the cake. It soaks down through the cake and I always loved the bottom 2 layers the best!!
My grandma always used real coconuts when she made hers!! So cool ya'll's did too!! Lotta people don't believe me!! At the beginning I thought the coconut you were scraping outta the pan was Feta cheese 🧀😂🤣😂🤣 but when I heard coconut 🥥 I got EXCITED!! I'm gunna try this one!!! Pretty cake!! WAY TA HO GIRLFRIEND!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
hi there! I recently found your channel from your egg sandwiches. You and your hubby are the most adorable couple! Blessings to you and your hubby and your family! Health and joyful long life in the Name of Jesus! Amen!💗
Mamma Tammy what if you can’t find frozen coconut? I live in the Pacific NW. Do you have suggestions? I wanted to make YOUR coconut recipe but can’t find that. P.S you look soooo beautiful with your hair like that. Just….BEAUTIFUL. GOD BLESS and keep you in continuous good health.
www.collardvalleycooks.com/fresh-coconut-cake.html both of these are fesh coconut cakes so you would have to buy a cocnut and remove the cocnut by peeling and grating
Susan, I am working on a link to Magdalene's Cookbook. It should be up and ready by tomorrow and will be here: www.collardvalleycooks.com/magdalenes-coconut-cake.html
Hello Tammy n Chris. Ms. Magdalene n her Son R very proud of You. As they say You you do what you do Best. You didn’t miss a Beat. You put that Tammy Spin on that coconut cake. You n Chris r a match made n heaven. Love you Guys. ❤️💋👩🏽🦱👨🏾🦲🫶🏾🙏🏾
My dad always said that he loved his aunt Della Mae's "Wet Coconut Cake" that she would make when they visited SC, and his dad would take her fresh coconuts from Florida. He turns 75 next week, and this looks exactly like how he has described Della Mae's cake, so you can bet I'm going to make it for him!
The cake looks nice and moist, been dying for a coconut cake, I am an extract maker and at present am waiting for a vanilla extract in coconut rum to be ready for bottling (a test), bet that would be a good extract to use, always bake a few things with them first, to see if the flavors come through.. Which do you prefer this one or yours?
Well, they are both so very different and delicious. Mine is more of a fresh coconut taste, and this one is like a coconut candy. Both really are AMAZING!! I think this one is easier than mine because there is just one filling and no buttercream to make.
Oh boy that one killer cake 🎂 with the sugar but look delicious 🤗😘ps my boyfriend said after 1 tiny slice he would probably be in a comma for a year haha
This looks just like my Mom’s coconut cake! It was so moist and delicious-everyone loved it. She would hold out a little of the coconut and pat it around the cake after icing it. Thanks for this vid.
I've seen so many recipes for this cake but I've not ever attempted to make it because the picture looked like white frosting BUT YOURS LOOKS RIGHT!!! I will be making this!
Tammy, I went tonight to get everything to make this cake and the only thing I could not find was the frozen coconut. I went to Publix and Winn Dixie. I am planning to make this cake tomorrow for a party on Sunday. Can I use the sweetened coconut flakes?
I have never tried that. The coconut has sugar in it so I would think you would have to reduce the sugar in the recipe for the filling by about 1/2 cup.
@@CollardValleyCooks thank you. I appreciate you responding. I am embarrassed to say I have never opened a coconut and shredded it. My friend said there is a Publix that has a machine that will open them for you, I’ll call that store tomorrow. I think that would be nice if they do.
@@tonyathomas9540 it is a pain that is true. Chris likes my recipe over Magdelenes so make sure you make the one you want because that makes it another level of work!
@@CollardValleyCooks it does look difficult for a novice baker like myself. My step mom said she wanted a coconut cake and I’m going to do it:-) have a wonderful night!
Look at that cake! I know that’s absolutely delicious. The Gaither Vocal Band is getting a wonderful surprise today! I love, love, love them. I’m 71 years old and I’ve seen them in concert several times. I hope you and and Chris enjoy your time at their concert, I know you will. Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤
I made this for my father-in-law's b-day in March 2023...i swear it weighed 5 lbs! It also vaused me to start eating sugar...had been off since January!
That’s a very special occasion cake. That’s the only time I would make it too, because it looks like a lot of hard work. Reminds me of the coconut cakes my grandmother use to make.
How about adding parchment paper on your turntable three or four pieces, frost your cake and then pull out the parchment paper so you have a clean turntable, I'm only suggesting because I've seen other chefs do this, and it does look absolutely delicious. Tam😋
That’s how my grandma taught me. I iced my cakes on my cake stand. Pulled all my (just torn pieces and placed them on my cake stand in a circular shape. Added my layer cake on top) pieces of parchment out when iced.
I definitely want to make this cake since I love coconut so much! I do not see the link to Mark’s cookbook. Is it not posted yet? Thank you for your awesome videos!
Susan, I am working on a link to Magdalene's Cookbook. It should be up and ready by tomorrow and will be here: www.collardvalleycooks.com/magdalenes-coconut-cake.html
Tammy that looks more than good it looks amazing. I made a apple cobbler and a big pot of chili today so my husband is ready for the super bowl.Have fun Chris watching the big game if you are watching it today.
Looks delicious. This is the coconut icing I grew up enjoying. On the website, is the amount of sugar for one cake recipe correct. Says 1/2 cup sugar. Doesn’t seem like enough for a typical cake recipe. Thanks for sharing. Mark is an awesome baker and piano player.
Hi tammy and family The cake looks soo good . You know tell me I cannot find frozen coconut up here where I live at all in the North so I guess I would just have to use the Baker's coconut. Well i don't know if that would work We love you guys with the love of the LORD JESUS Thank you for sharing all your cooking with us

Love that Coconut Icing!😋
Where do you get your measuring cup scoops?
