Hands down this is the best cake ever. I made it and took it to work once and now my coworkers are always asking me to make it again! Thank you for sharing this❣️
My mother in law made this cake quite often. I’m in my late 70’s now but I still miss her bake goods. She was a wonderful southern cook. She made huge cat head biscuits and corn bread muffins fresh every day of her marriage. They never ate sliced white bread. Such a treat. 🥰❤️❤️🧓🏻Texas.
7:48 I AM SO GLAD YOU SAID THIS! I thought I was going crazy because every time I would make a box cake, the past 10 years at least, I would think, “I could’ve sworn these layers used to come out thicker than this??” and I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! 😫 I should’ve known they were making them smaller though! 😄
Oh, Tammy, I am not a very good baker at all so I doubt I will even attempt this one but I've had some really good coconut cakes in my life, but I don't think I've eaten one as good as yours looks!! Oh my goodness, that was stunning and you have obviously made quite a few of these. What a precious gift from your Mom to have learned how to bake and decorate like you do and it keeps her close in your heart to carry on her legacy of baking such a gorgeous, delicious cake like that one during Christmas. ❤
Hi Tammy! It took only one time of making this cake before it quickly became a huge fave with my crew! It's often requested for birthdays as well as making regular appearances during the holidays. It's become something of a tradition at our house. Thank you so much for sharing your mom's recipe! It's extra special, for sure! Thank you for the video, y'all!
❤❤Love this recipe and video. Your love and respect for your Momma is evident. I know she must have been a wonderful Momma and Christian lady. Blessed as I was with a good Mom! Thank u for sharing!
Thank you for this recipe. I remember as a child when an older woman in the community would make a coconut cake, and sell them. She never shared her recipe. I remember the icing being fluffy. I believe your recipe was how she made it. Thank you again. One day I will try it. Maybe at seventy.
As a kid my granny made all cakes from scratch too but I never liked coconut cake. My favorite was chocolate cake and her Christmas fruit cakes. Mmm mmm good.
Tammy, I’m so excited because I can make this dairy and egg free-I’m allergic to both. I’m going to use my own vegan cake recipe and then your icing with vegan butter!! ❤️❤️
O my l love coconut cake , this looks delicious and amazing,I don’t eat sweets because I am so scared of diabetes, but Lord if I had a slice of this I would have to eat it. Hope everyone is doing well God bless and take care, ❤
My Mama made the best Coconut Cake from scratch here in Georgia you ever tasted! She used Birdseye Coconut soaked in creme of coconut ... She did it just like this! So moist and so good! My Daddy favorite cake in the world. He called them, Sawdust Cakes bc of the coconut. Lol. I miss my Daddy and Mama so much! I'll see them soon when the Lord Comes to carry me home, Amen. Thank you Tammy.... 🙏❤😁
Ladies, You dont have to be a experienced cake decorated to ic e a cake! Anybody can do it! I've done it my whole life and so did my Mama. Actually anybody I ever knew can do it! Just let your layers cool good and ice your cake!
That is making me so hungry! I’ve never seen that coconut before . Wonder if Walmart sells it. I know my little store doesn’t. And is that unsalted butter? What a tribute to your sweet mama! So glad she was saved! She’s feasting in Heaven now!

I love this cake. We can’t get enough of it. You’re amazing at this and I am so happy you’re here bringing memories of moma back to us. Thank you so much and may GOD Bless you Always. ♥️
Tammy……..oh my gosh,just watched the video for you and your mama’s coconut cake,my family at Easter would serve that cactus wet,sweet divine cake…my favorite 🤩 🎉❤,thanks for reminding me how to get that rich sweetness.for Christmas it was always,homemade by their hands,again handmade mincemeat pies,with that flaky,greasy crust
I can not get the frozen fresh shredded coconut in the freezer section. Can we use the Bakers coconut along with the other ingredients for the topping? It looks SSOOO good!!!
OMGOSH 😱 Tammy! Tammy! Tammy! This cake looks sooo delicious!! Just like a little piece of Heaven!! If there truly are sweets in Heaven, I hope your coconut cake will be there too someday!! Coconut was always my mom's favorite desserts!! IDK if I can make this cake, it looks so intimidating to attempt! Very beautifully made!!! 😍❤️🥰
Every Christmas, my grandma would make chocolate pies and coconut pies, and that would be our desserts. So we have always made kept that tradition and her recipe of course. I had never had a coconut cake until I found the new Dolly Parton cake mixes and she has one for coconut cake. So I got that and made it for our family reunion this summer, and it was a hit! It was soo yummy! I would love it if you got the same cake mix for the coconut cake and make it to see what you think about Ms. Dolly’s recipe! I’m super curious to hear what you think about it! 😃🙏🏻🩷
What keeps the cake from becoming soggy Ms. Tammy? With the coconut being so “soupy” as you put it, would it not cause the bottom of the cake, at least, to become soggy over time? I thought maybe the icing might be a barrier, but the bottoms of the cake layers are lying on top of the coconut layer. Thanks for any info! I can’t wait to try to make this cake and I just want to make sure I’m making it right. ☺️🩷🙌🏼
Miss Tammy, do you think it would turn out badly if I used all butter instead of a butter shortening mix? I have a lot of butter I need to use up. Also, do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Hi Tammy, I live in West Michigan and can’t find frozen coconut anywhere, I have searched everywhere but it’s not available, what should I use I place of the frozen coconut? I don’t think Bakers coconut would do it justice if being moistened with cream of coconut.
Thanks Tammy, what’s the the size of packages you use so I can see how many coconuts to buy, thanks back for the response. I have been wanting to make your cake for awhile now but unsure what to use in place of the fresh coconut.
Mrs. Tammy. I've made your cake several times because it quickly became a favorite. But now I have a problem. It seems the frozen coconut is no longer available in my area. Could you or anyone offer an alternative? Please help!
Tammy. This is off topic of your beautiful cake, but I just got through making a gallon of sweet tea. It got me wondering how many gallons of sweet tea have I ever made? So. I started making sweet tea by the gallon about age 14 by myself. Sweet tea lasts about 2 days at my house. So I think 183 x44 years I think. I think I’ve made approximately 8052 gallons of sweet tea. I thought this was funny😂 How about you how many gallons have you made?❤ I enjoy all your videos.
Hi what can we subtitute the fresh coconuts with , i really want to ma,e this cake but i wouldn't find the frozen ones that you got can i use dry ones ?.
Hands down this is the best cake ever. I made it and took it to work once and now my coworkers are always asking me to make it again!
Thank you for sharing this❣️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s a family favorite.
This cake is the cake of my dreams! Thank you!
Mine too!! I'm more a white or vanilla cake gal than chocolate 😊
Christmas of 1988 Costco had a triple layer coconut cake. It was huge, delicious, moist. This cake takes me back.
The world needs more people like YOU Tammy ❤️ it would be a sweeter place!
This is the best scratch White cake recipe I have found
I’m so glad you liked it!
My mama was from Alabama and this was here best cake. Thank you for bringing back so many good times

This Fresh Coconut Cake recipe looks so delicious 😋 Ms.Tammy.
Oh, my but that looks so delicious ❣️ I could almost taste it!!😂💕.Thanks so much…
Will definitely try this cake.😊 I'm in CT and we don't have White Lilly flour.😢
I just saw yesterday that you can now purchase White Lily on line grom flours to cornmeal etc.
~~~ INFO:
Chlorine makes White Lily more like cake flour than other all-purpose flours. But there again is another subtle difference, ...While White Lily can be used in cakes, it is not bleached as much as cake flour, which gives White Lily a better, less acidic taste,
This cake looks so Yummy!

I can not get the frozen fresh shredded coconut in the freezer section. Can we use the Bakers coconut along with the other ingredients for the topping? It looks SSOOO good!!!
Bakers would not work you would have to use a real coconut and get out the flesh
OMGosh…my mouth is watering❣️
Truly one of my FAVORITE cakes!
That cake is alot of trouble but I bet it's God-A-Mighty-Good! THANKS!
Love this cake/recipe! 💙👍🏼

Beautiful looking cake Tammy. 😊
Coconut Cake is one of my favorite. Had one from bakery for my August birthday. Still have some slices in freezer. Lol
Every Christmas, my grandma would make chocolate pies and coconut pies, and that would be our desserts. So we have always made kept that tradition and her recipe of course.

I can’t wait to try to make this cake and I just want to make sure I’m making it right. ☺️🩷🙌🏼
It will be refrigerated so it will stay firm
I think it would taste somewhat like a tres leches coconut cake
Wow that looks so delicious 😋
So sorry your mama is gone, cake looks so delicious! What type of mixer are you using plz let me know I want one lol ❤
Bosch I have it on collardvalleycooks.com for you to see it
@@CollardValleyCooks thank you
I use the cake pan wraps. The cake layers are level, get done and remain light on the edges. I am lazy. I use the parchment liners.
Your right make your own batter ❤
Yummy❤
One of my favorite cakes is coconut! I also love a spice cake with maple brown sugar icing. YUMMMMMMMMMMM😃
Maple brown sugar icing? Yum!!
My granny buttered & sugared her pans! And so i do to
❤❤❤❤❤yummy
Miss Tammy, do you think it would turn out badly if I used all butter instead of a butter shortening mix? I have a lot of butter I need to use up. Also, do you use salted or unsalted butter?
All butter would work and I use salted
If you use salted butter would you still add the salt?
@@CollardValleyCooks thank you! 💕
no@@brendapelfrey4035
Hi Tammy, I live in West Michigan and can’t find frozen coconut anywhere, I have searched everywhere but it’s not available, what should I use I place of the frozen coconut? I don’t think Bakers coconut would do it justice if being moistened with cream of coconut.
You would have to get the flesh out of a real coconut
Thanks Tammy, what’s the the size of packages you use so I can see how many coconuts to buy, thanks back for the response. I have been wanting to make your cake for awhile now but unsure what to use in place of the fresh coconut.
48 oz total. The recipe is on collardvalleycooks.com for you @@rebeccatelgenhoff3540
So yummy! 🥥🌴
Good southern cake
Mrs. Tammy. I've made your cake several times because it quickly became a favorite. But now I have a problem. It seems the frozen coconut is no longer available in my area. Could you or anyone offer an alternative? Please help!
The only other thing I know to do is use an actual coconut
Can you suggest a flour that is next best to white lily flour.....
King Arthur or cake flour
Can this cake recipe be made into cupcakes?
Yes you can!
I hope your new house kitchen turns out as well as the St.Mary's kitchen worked for you.
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Salted
Thank you so much. Can't wait to try it! Trying to decide whether to use 8 inch pans or 9
My favorite. I love coconut cake it's my favorite cake ever❤
