was the cake too sweet with the sweetened coconut, considering the large amount of sugar already I the cake? I was wonder if I could use unsweetened instead because I'm worried about it being too sweet
My aunt used to make a coconut cake for all the members in her family for their birthdays. She had a beautiful special plate she put it on. After she passed away my grandmother gave the plate to me. When we moved it got smashed. I was heart broken. Your cake reminds me of the ones she'd make. Thanks for the childhood memory of her.
I made your coconut cake for my husband’s birthday this past weekend. I was scared it would not turn out delicious. I am always terrified when I try a new recipe. The cake turned out delicious. My family loved it. I had some today it’s soft, creamy and delicious. Thank you for helping me become a baker. Love to you and your beautiful family.
@Dhruva I am glad your sister helped you out with the recipe. Learning new recipes is exciting. I made John’s blueberry scones recipe last week, they turned out delicious too.
Love coconut cakes, but this recipe is special and I’ll have to make it when the family are down next. I’ve been using John’s cake recipes for a while as he doesn’t disappoint.
I made your delicious coconut cake. I don’t like coconut but the cake was absolutely delicious. My husband said it tasted like a professionally made cake. My sisters, love coconut cakes, loved it and they asked me where I bought the cake from. They couldn’t believe I made it. Thank you for the amazing recipe.
I made this and it's wayyy too sweet. I would suggest to put 1 cup of sugar in the cake mixture instead of two cups. You can always adjust sweetness with the frosting. Apart from that, the cake texture came out very well.
My Mom’s Coconut Cake with pineapple between the layers was my favorite, my daughter in law and I made it for Christmas one year and decorated it with sugared holly leaves and sugared cranberries, it just looked to elegant. The icing was the 7 minute icing….
Can’t wait to try this. I made your lemon cake and lemon cream cheese frosting for a party last weekend. Everyone loved it. Awesome John…just awesome. 😋
Just finished making this cake. I am not an avid baker, but it turned out really well. Wasn't hard to do. The taste test ia yet to come tonight. Well, I did sample the icing, and a crumb or two of the cake "accidentally" came off while I was icing it! Absolutely delicious.
Hi, I am from Kerala, India. We Keralites are the greatest fans of coconut and use it in one form or other in almost every dish. Will definitely try this.
I just made this cake, but since we don't have sweetened cocunut here I used extra 100 ml of milk and 150 g of shredded coconut. Turned out amazing, loved the recipe!
Thank you for the tip about not over beating cake batter because of protein activation. I had no idea. thank you, thank you, thank you! This cake looks wonderful.
Yes Please the Swiss meringue sounds so good. I would love that recipe. I also have used a whipped cream coconut frosting for a cake that is super light and tasty. I can hardly wait to try this. I just made apple fritters this evening with my grandson. They turned out great and we had a great time. Thank you so much.
I haven't cooked in a long time but after seeing the coconut cake recipe and the lemon curd recipe I decided to try to make it! The cake is out of the oven and looks very good. I've made the lemon curd for between the layers and will make the frosting in the morning and put this coconut cake with lemon curd between the layers together. So far I am so impressed with the ease of the directions and with the video it was a breeze to make. I am so happy with the results. THANK YOU! ❤
I made his Italian cream cake a week ago, it was absolutely delicious! Everyone loved it! I’m going to try making this one too! One of these cakes will be my birthday cake. Yes, I’m making my own birthday cake.
After watching the tutorial on the Italian Cream cake, I bought new cake pans, the baking bands, piping bags, tips, turntable. I’ve yet to make it!!!!!!! But I’m going to, one day soon.
This look's like the "Daisy Coconut Cake"! But likely much more delicious and obviously less costly. The Daisy cake is a great alternative if you cannot or don't elect to bake it yourself! My vote is for the Preppy Coconut Cake. Going to make it for my son and his 3 kids next weekend. Can't wait!!!
My mom makes coconut cake, but a bit different. The frosting she makes is with whipping cream, and she doesn’t add any coconut to the cake itself. She also layers passion fruit in between the cakes, and that’s what makes it really amazing
Hi i am a home baker,here in the Caribbean,i enjoy watching you bake,i make most of your cupcakes😊vanilla,red velvet,i recently made your pound cake,i have never tried the reverse method,so i have to make this delishous coconut cake,excellent job as always,thanks for all the tips greatly appreciated❤
UHMMMMM!!!!! I Love Coconut Cake and I think your version looks very, very good. So I will do it in October for my birthday. I love the way you do your recipes. It gives the sensation that they are so easy to do them and marvelous.
My all time favorite cake for more than 50+ years!!! I often will add a layer of lemon curd on mine or layer in sliced organic strawberries (infused in coconut rum) on top of the frosting between the layers. You should look into Buko pie.... its a layered sliced coconut pie popular in the Philippines I fell in love with them when I lived there... xoxo Randolph
@@jaellenwarren1895 Yes.... i have done both lemon and pineapple curd before... sometimes I will just do a layer of lemon curd.... other times I will pipe a row of frosting and do lemon curd in the center as a little surprise.... it varies..... and I generally will shave fresh coconut slices on top and sometime decorate with sugared flowers or something...
This is by far the easiest recipe to follow that I've seen. Also, multiple cakes for Christmas. Can't wait to make these With the amount of coconut shavings I bought, everyone is getting a coconut cake. Thank you 🙂
This looks gorgeous, coconut is my mum’s favourite so I will make the cake for her. I’d love to see the Swiss meringue recipe because here in the UK we don’t have the same kind of cream cheese as North America so it comes out much runnier and hard to decorate cakes with.
this Southern girl loves a coconut cake ... and yours looks absolutely delicious. And so easy to make !!! thanks for sharing this recipe, along with your inspiration and encouragement to get out there and bake something
Oh my I made a coconut cake two days ago. I couldn't find one from you so made a different one. Looking forward to trying this one. Have loved all your cakes and cookies. The only thing is when I measure and weigh the flour the weight is so much less. I have been following the weight and they come out.
No kidding, I was literally searching a coconut cake recipe on your website the other day. Finally I can make one now ❤❤❤❤. Your recipes are the only ones I trust.
i made this cake today for my lady OMG john it turned out so awesome for a minute i was worried cause my batter was much more runny than yours i thought i forgot something but i didnt it was weather related thank you ive made alot of your recipies some i cant even pronounce we love you im saving for your book hope i can get it someday tell the boys hello and easy on chocolet cake lol
Omg yummy I imagine this tasting like raffaelo chocolates. I tried a lot of cake recipes from lot of creators and honestly once I started trying yours I don’t even bother watching anyone’s else’s videos. 100% of the times I tried one of your recipes was a hit. Easy to follow and achieve and I get so many compliments on my “baking skills”😜 Thank you 🙏😊 I really mean it.
This cake melted in my mouth. None left. Gotta make another one. The family went crazy behind it. Did a 2 layer because I didn't have another pan and it still was gone less than 2 hours.
i made this for mother's day and it was PERFECT omg thank you so much john ily. also, i reduced the sugar and cut the recipe into half bc i didnt want such a big cake and yet it was still delicious!!🎀🎀
Tried baking this. Most accurate recipe. Im using cup measurements because Im too stingy for electronic scale. Turns out well!! 🤩🤩🤩 Next we need a Baileys Chocolate Cake recipe!
@Preppy_Kitchen would totally love to watch and hopefully remake your swiss meringue buttercream with coconut cream John!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes! Our fam totally enjoys watching and remaking your recipes!! Totally, happy baking!!
Okay, So I tried this recipe and was holding my breath the hold time praying it would turn out as perfect as you make it. Made it for Thanksgiving 2024 and it was perfect and delicious..So I made it again for my church Christmas Dinner 2024 and double the ingredients to make a much bigger cake to feed 30 people, and once again I was holding my breath. Let me just say this cake was on point. It was delicious. Thank you for making it so easy. 12/10/24
Dear John, I am your fan from Querétaro in México. I think that your recipes are superb and your explanations are very clear and punctual. Thank you very much. Our family is rather small so, sometimes I would enjoy very much to have smaller quantities for our day to day. Perhaps you could plan meals for two in a future book. Thank you again and Best wishes.
John i feel like u made this cake just for me. I've been requesting this coconut cake and coconut cupcakes from you for few months now. Thank you for uploading this. Cannot wait to try. Plz do a texas sheet cake and a white texas sheet cake next thanks!
My aunt used to make a similar cake, but if I remember correctly, she made a meringue "frosting" . Like the boiled meringue that I have seen in recipes.
I was thinking: If you added coconut water instead of the extract, I think that could enhance the coconut flavour as well. What do you think? And I LOVE this recipe and you for making said recipe. 🙂 Thank you John. Love the channel. (and anything with cream cheese ;-)
Coconut cream and butter Swiss meringue buttercream sounds amazing John, I’d love to see that recipe….love this cake, one of my husbands favourite flavours, thank you! X🇬🇧💕X
Baked this for my family during the holidays, let’s just say I am now the favourite child
He makes our kitchen so nice with his goodies
@dreamgirl6272 BRUHHH that's so funny😂😂
🤣🤣🤣

@@najlaalnuaimi4991 no no I put less sugar than he did because I taught he put too much so it was good

Made this came last night. In the fridge right now. Cannot wait to taste this!! Saved my leftover yummy frosting
I've never seen my cat Checkers actually sit and watch a video for more than a few seconds until now. 🥰 She loved this one.
Checkers is such a cute name!!

Give her a hug from me.
