Hi Monique long time subriber here... I never comment much on youtube but in the past I used some of your recipes for family gatherings and of course it was delicous. A cousin of mine is getting married so I will be baking 2 types of cupcakes. I took a look at your video again and I was wondering....you dont have a recipe for Butterscotch cake or Butterscotch cupcakes? I wanted to ask if you could make a recipe for that please? I know if you did it make them it would be another amazing recipe to eat. 🙂
Good day! I hope everyone is well! I would like to know if anyone knows that if I use CAKE FLOUR do I still have to add the baking soda and baking powder? Or did she add those only because she was using regular all purpose flour?
I haven't made a coconut cake in so long. My mother died when I was 19. And the last time that I made one she was alive. But that was so long ago. It probably sounds silly but I was fighting back tears while watching this. Being with her in the kitchen baking pies and cakes, talking and laughing at the things she'd say are some of my favorite memories. And I like that it's a triple layer cake. It looks delicious.
I can relate. This was my dad's favorite cake. He would savor every bite like it was his last. It took a long time after he passed before my mom could make her well-loved coconut cake again. But she did return to making them on special occasions. What a blessing to have those memories and now you can build on those moments. God bless! 💞
My mom also passed away when I was 19 and every Easter she would have a coconut cake with my Easter basket and stuff.😔 I'm 38 now and I always remember my little cake.
I made this cake yesterday and when I tell y’all it’s SO🔥🔥🔥!! It’s GONE!! I added a pineapple purée between the layers that took it to a whole other level!! I personally don’t like coconut but I ate this coconut cake!! 🤣🤣I let my neighbors taste it, And they have ordered 2!! I’m fairly new to baking. I’ve been only baking about a year and a half and I’ve tried a few coconut cake recipes and this by far is the BEST one I’ve made!! It worked out so well I will NEVER use another 🎉coconut cake recipe!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING this AMAZING recipe!! I will be ordering your cookbook!!
So I've made this several times but WITHOUT the coconut flakes or the coconut extract. I also halved the recipe and made cupcakes. I baked them at 350 for 15 minutes and it yielded about 17 to 15 cupcakes depending on how much I filled the cups. Her vanilla cake recipe just called for too many ingredients for me due to my laziness. But yall this is sooo good. The cupcakes are so soft and fluffy. You don't even have to ice them because they are so good by themselves. She did such a great job on this recipe yall, it's definitely worth a try and still tastes amazing without the coconut.
I've made your chocolate cake countless times as well as your lemon cake with cream cheese frosting. I really love your recipes. You're so talented and I look forward to this one as well. Thank you for sharing it!
This looks tooooo good! And Easter is right around the corner, perfect add to an Easter dinner! Update: I did make this cake for Easter, and not a single slice lived to tell the story! It was a hit! 🙌🏾
DID I TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU?? Because I do!! You have ALWAYS been a blessing to me. I'm the worst cook EVER but I watch you. Today, I am wanting to make a cake for my mom's memorial celebration and I saw that cake pop up on my phone. I will try it! Thank you for being a blessing to the world
This is a sign that spring as around the corner followed by summer because the coconut cake always reminds me of picnics and family get together Monique girl this came right on time 😊
I don't like coconut flakes on a lot of things, but I owed my niece a solid and she asked for a coconut cake. I research online and felt pretty good about your recipe. The cake came out great! I did 2 layers and added coconut in between the layers. This cake is super moist to the touch. Even after it cooled I thought the layer would melt in my hand. It was a birthday and I didn't want a slice but my niece loved it. Thanks Diva!
I made this coconut cream cake, it was delicious! But when I put it in the fridge, I did notice that the cake was very dense, and it wasn’t light and fluffy. So I just left it covered on the counter, overnight the texture was light and fluffy. Obsessed!!
Your recipes are THEE MOST TESTED in my Test Kitchen, I just made all your Brownies, PERFECTION, the Sweet Potato was my favorite UNTIL I made the Red Velvet, OH MY, so NOW, both are in competition with each other. LOL ❤️ 😆 My Taste Team is loving The Lemon 😅 YOU ARE BOSS, and everything, NO, YOU said the DAMN THANG, YOUR RECIPES will bring $$$ you are my ABOSULUTE GO TO FOR GREAT RECIPES! ❤❤❤
Young lady, you have been blessed with such talent in the kitchen! Your recipes are so delicious!!! This cake??? I have no words!!! Bravo!! Keep up the good work!! God bless you!👏👌😋🤤
Received cookbook and was pleased. I've tried a few recipes already came out delish. Only wish I got the cook book @ 19.99 instead of 39.99. Keep doing what your doing "Diva" Blessings Always!
I love this cake. I’ve made it 3 times following the exact recipe and will be making it again in 2 weeks!! Thank you for sharing!!!I wish the Cake layers were thicker like the homemade lemon cake w/lemon frosting but the taste of this recipe is divine!!
78k views and 1.15m subscribers man I’m so proud of you! I been with you since the beginning, my son is almost 10 yrs old now and I remember watching your videos when I was pregnant writing down your recipes at all hours if the night 😂 I’m so happy for you, I feel like you family at this point ❤
This cake looks incredible. The frozen fresh coconut was perfect for the snowball look. My grandma loved coconut cake (RIP) 🫶🏾 Unfortunately I LOATHE anything coconut. TFS though, it brought back a great memory of me soaring the internet to make a coconut cake that was healthy for my grandma.
I must say I’ve looked at 7 videos and I choose yours. I’ll be making it tomorrow to go with my Sunday dinner. Will come back and let you know how it came out.
Made your recipe for for black eyed peas for my mom and she almost cried saying she hasn’t had any of those since my grandma passed , your recipes are creating traditions ❤ thank you Monique
You can use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream ... it has the same fluffly and stiff peakness m put the can in the freezer the night before remove the creame and keeo the water in the can
This cake Is delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been looking for a similar recipe for my father that my uncle used to make for him. My uncle passed many years ago ,never wrote a recipe. So grateful 🙏🏾🥰The almond and coconut extract really give a superb flavor,also Dad approved lol 👍🏾
I have NEVER seen such a delicious looking cake!! My daughter LOVES Coconut cake and you made the process look so easy...I'm gonna give it a try for her 21st Birthday 🎂 (which is in less than a week😬) Thank you for sharing!!❤❤
This look so delicious!! This will be my easter cake and. Im going to decorate with jelly beans around it. Or some kind of easter candy !! Thank you so much for this recipe. 😊❤
I'm new to your page and i see so many wonderful treats I want to enjoy with my family and friends that i'm telling my children i want this book for Christmas
Your coconut you used in this recipe did you buy it in the frozen section or did you buy a coconut and great it yourself,do you let the coconut defrost and then use it it looks delicious thank you for this recipe greetings from dublin ireland Patricia obrien 🇮🇪
Easier than 7-minute frosting. I made a coconut cake for my mother every Easter for a few years up untl she died and kept the tradition going for the rest of the family. The sour cream is a good addition to the batter. One time I made it I accidentally doubled the oil but it came out so tender and light, I kept doing it that way.
This looks absolutely delicious! My Mum loves coconut so I’m making this for her for Mothers Day which is this Sunday in Australia. Just a couple of questions… I’m making this into a heart shaped vintage cake with the fancy piping. The heart tins are only 7” at the biggest side. I was planning on doing 4 layers in the smaller heart tins. Would I need to adjust cooking time for this? Also, is the frosting going to be thick enough to hold the shape of the piping? Thanks so much! Can’t wait to make this. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 💖🙂
I’ve made some coconut cake recipes and noticed they are never good with coconut milk personally like using coconut creme. Tried it in this cake and it was great!❤
I love your coconut cake!! I am just finishing "Black Cake', a novel by Charmaine Wilkerson. The recipe for the cake (in the book) is a bit unclear. So, I have a challenge for you. Can you research this cake and post it in your channel? While I have googled it, I am still a bit mystified by the recipe, especially the 'blackening'. I would love to make this for Christmas!
Hi Monique Thank you for this amazing recipe. When I whip my heaving cream with the vanilla and coconut extract it doesn’t get stiff and I’m afraid I’ve overloaded it. Any suggestions on how to stiffen? I’m making it again for Thanksgiving.

Monique, how would you compare this, to the Italian Cream Cake? That cake, there's no words for it!!

@@msaerosoul1861 yes, you would still add it. It's a leavening agent. It's already included in Self Rising, not Cake flour.
Thank you for your help. I’m going to make this soon. Will let everyone know how it turns out. 😳😬😊

This is not coconut cake at all when no shredded coconut inside nor coconut cream or milk is used . It’s just a white cake with coconut frosting
That cake looks so good!
Yummy 😋
I'm new to your page and i see so many wonderful treats I want to enjoy with my family and friends that i'm telling my children i want this book for Christmas
Thanks for this recipe.

😁 You've been rocking with me for a long time! Thanks love!
Great recipe! Definitely a keeper❤
Omg, that looks delicious. God bless
I'd like to know more details on why the cocunut milk didn't work? Also would you try a Doctored Doly Partons cocunut cake mix? 😁😁

Hi Monique
Thank you for this amazing recipe. When I whip my heaving cream with the vanilla and coconut extract it doesn’t get stiff and I’m afraid I’ve overloaded it. Any suggestions on how to stiffen? I’m making it again for Thanksgiving.
Yeap, making a coconut cake for My Mother on Her birthday. 👍🏾
Thanksgiving memories of my mother's cooking were one of my favorites that she'd cook specifically for me out of 6 children 😭
Just checked out your book. You are soooo pretty
If Im using yellow cake mix should I follow the typical directions of using water or should I use milk? Thanks in advance!
