It gets its name from the ingedients:
1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups for flour and 4 eggs.
Ingredients
2 sticks butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups self-rising flour, sifted
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Grease and flour 3 (9-inch) cake pans. Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes. Add eggs,1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3
Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Level batter in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4 inches above counter, then dropping it flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake.
Step 4
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling racks. Cool completely and spread cake layers with your favorite frosting to make a 3-layer cake.
Enjoy!
I have fallen in love again with these episodes and Paula herself. These are like an old blanket you found in the closet and absolutely need but didn’t know you missed. So comforting, relaxing, sweet and useful. Just wonderful! Thank you so much, Paula, for being on TH-cam.
Paula, every time you add eggs, I think of that time on tv when the dish dropped into the mixer.......I still 😂. One of the best moments on tv...thanks....about 15 years ago.....
Oh my word....!! I love coconut cakes !! They remind me of my Granny . She would make them every Christmas and she would make 6 or 7 thin layers of cake . She would make her homemade icing too and put it on a cake platter just like this one you used Miss Paula . She also put hers in the refrigerator . Boy... those were some delicious cakes !! Jamie sure is lucky to have a mama that will bake him his favorite cake every year for his birthday . I'm sure you always made your son's birthday's very special too . 🎂❤❤❤
I miss watching her on television. I'm glad to have found her on TH-cam :)
These old clips sure reminds me of the Paula Deen I love. I bet I've watched every single one of them.
Yes
At least twice 😆 🤣
Me too 😂
Never thought I would see this cake made on tv much less on Paula Deen’s show! This was the first cake I ever made and I made it each year for the holidays growing up. My mother told me to pick a recipe from her cook book and this is what I made!
That does look delicious. 🍰 I love the 7-minute frostings. And what a gorgeous kitchen. That fridge!!!
Thanks to all those cooks for keeping and sharing the old recipes!! We love you!! A big thank you to Paula for this cake!!!!
Miss Paula
She is STILL queen of the kitchen. In my book anyhow.
Now that's a TRUE Coconut Cake! People don't realize the difference this frosting makes. You called it Divinity frosting but it's also like 7 Minute frosting. When you've had this one, you'll never be satisfied with cream cheese icing on a coconut cake. The filling must take this right over the top. My husband doesn't like coconut but you can bet the next time we have company I'm making this one! ☺
I've never seen divinity frosting before. Can't wait to give it a try.
Thanks so much for this recipe it's the only one I use and everyone loves this cake and tell them I love Paula Deen she helped me to smile when I was so sick.
Does it have to stay in the refrigerator for three days before eating? What if it’s just overnight?
HELLO PAULA 😊! MY SWEET MAMA TAUGHT ME HOW TO MAKE THE 1-2-3-4 CAKE WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG 😊💝. ALSO THE 7 MINUTE FROSTING. THEN WE ADDED THE COCONUT JUST LIKE YOU DID 🎂💝! NOW SOMETIMES SHE WOULD ADD SOUR CREAM IN HER FROSTING INSTEAD OF WATER & THAT WAS AWESOME ALSO 💝 & I AGREE! IT IS ONE OF THE BEST CAKE'S I'VE EVER HAD & I LOVE YOU FOR KEEPING & SHARING THIS OLD RECIPE WITH ALL OF US, OUR CHILDREN & OUR GRANDCHILDREN 🎂😊💝😘! MAY GOD ALWAYS CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU SWEET LADY 🙏✝💝!!!
I saw both simplicity and gourmet...This looks to die-for!
She did another one that has measurements about a year ago
I love these videos! So relaxing to watch after a difficult day.
Relaxing! I was wondering why I love them so.
I’m not the most proficient cook, but I’ve been looking for a cocanut cake recipe I might be able to replicate. I believe I’ve found it in this, many thanks. BTW I a couple nights ago, watched your video of your kitchen redo on the Savannah house you’ve updated. It’s awesome.
this cake recipe is on the back of Swans Down cake flour box, (only the cake not the icing) the difference is, she uses self-rising, Swans Down calls for baking powder and salt. I've Made it many times and it is so moist and delicious. may try her filling, it looks tasty
Love you Paula always have...your an amazing woman. We are so lucky you share your passion with us. Much love
THANK YOU SO MUCH MS PAULA FOR PUTTING YOUR FABULOUS RECIPE UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE IT FOR LATER FABULOUS
I can’t WAIT to try this icing because I’ve been looking for a go to icing that can go with just about any cake!!
Thank you 🙏
Oh what a beautiful so white coconut cake....i love coconut 🤗
This Basic 1-2-3-4 cake recipe looks absolutely delicious, 😋 Paula.
I love straight forward recipes. Thanks
I’d put the yummy filling on the layer first then over top a thin layer of frosting as a glue. Yum 😋
Made this cake few years ago and it is the best cake ever.
My mom always made the seven minute icing.. I loved it as a child growing up!’💚💚
The 7 minute frosting is a old fashioned recipe. Just don't make it on a rainy damp day. That was my grandmother s advice. She made the best walnut divinity.
I love this recipe it's like my mother used to make in its really easy I used to be intimidated by it but once you get the hang of it you got it
Blast from the past. Delicious.
Paula this cake is so delicious❤ thank you for the video & the recipe, you are the best ❤️
Looks amazing, and you are a good teacher. I have just subscribed and will be checking out more of your videos x
Coconut cake was always my birthday cake growing up as well.
instead of refrigerating the cake , I put it in freezer a few hours. It does the same thing and comes out so moist.
That cake looks amazing. Drool.
Breathtaking Cake 🧁 Yummy 😋
OMG Ms. Paula that looks so good LOL can I have some. Continue to stay safe
Thank you so much Paula, for your nice Video. Dat Biethday Cake look's so Delicious mmmmh.
Greetings from German🌹😋😘🙏
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!
I'm going to try this Cake.. yummy 😋 😋 😋
I like these old videos. Paula seems so different then. No big hair, and tons of make-up. More toned down and natural, even her accent wasn't as pronounced.
Her accent and her cackling laugh has gotten heavier in the new videos and you would think she would be more reserved. The production crew and the Food Network probably kept het toned down.
She is very annoying in her old age😭
Lady, you are phenomenal!!!🍁🇨🇦
for the icing how much sugar, sour cream and milk to you use?
Hi Ms. Paula, can I substitute cup of milk with heavy cream? will it make it more creamy? or buttermilk? I enjoy your delicious recipes:)
I like this Paula much better!!!
Lujuana Hastings me too! I watched this show religiously back in the day. She was very accessible in her approach.
Paula could you put up the recipe for the filling and your cooked frosting please
I love your hair style you have going on.
Plus it's nice to see you. Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄
So nice to see you Miss Paula!
1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 3 cups of flour, and 4 eggs.

Self- rising flour

Paula's show was amazing
Beautiful cake!! I'm making this one!

Oh i love me some Paula Deen .
I love Paula Deen❤
How long would you bake if in a 12x9 pan?
Pls give us the quantities of ingredients for the filling and frosting !
Yes, please!
Love ya Miss Paula! Thank you for sharin your yummy recipe!
Love Paula Deen. That is my kind of cake.
She's on Instagram now! Since the lock down....
Tried this.... hella bomb! Love it! 🎂👌👌👌
I miss paula deen.i wish for her to come back .👍
Your hair looks great!!!
I really hope this question will be answered ! I made this cake and it is delicious so I plan to make it again this Christmas but there was a problem I encountered. After frosting, I put it in the fridge Christmas morning until ready to serve that afternoon and the 7 minutes frosting had become loose and was sliding off the cake. It looked just like hers in the beginning but after a few hours in fridge it was a mess and ugly! How do I avoid this again? Should 7 minute frosting not be put in the fridge?
here we are a year later......still no answer 😥
Divinity Icing:
Egg whites
Sugar
1/4 tsp Cream of tartar
pinch of salt
Water
Beat for one minute
Use Double boiler method and beat for 7 minutes
Add vanilla extract
That looks sooooo good
Prefer when you give measures as you go. Visually impaired so easier 😚😁
Éste si es un verdadero pastel de coco; ¡Delicioso¡
my family loves cream cheese frosting but this looks like it spreads easier but i’m curious what this type of frosting taste like...is it like the whipped frosting?
I just LOVE me some Paula Dean!!!
That stove is a beast - What is it? Thank you and cheers from Australia.
Evidently no one plans to answer you, if I knew I'd tell you. Sorry.......
@@dragons8822 - Cheers!
Love coconut cake🥥
I forgot to plastic wrap
Will this still be good left in fridge for three days unwrapped
☺️
Paula , I love your recipe,
This great opportunity.
Looks good paula
Looks Delicious in 2020 quarantine!!!
I want to do this cake, and I have the recipe down pat......but the icing is sugar, sour cream, coconut, and milk..........how much of each of the 4 things I the icing? Does it matter- I kept playing it and trying to guess on the amounts of he 4 items in the icing.....I also am glad to find a cake that can be made with self rising flour......hope I heard that right..........anyone know how much of the 4 icing ingredients please ????????
Just a beautiful thing !
Have missed your show...stopped watching food network when they cancelled your show...live to you and yours
Where are amounts on the icing & filling?
This is the recipe for the frosting.
www.cakecentral.com/recipe/7423/paula-deens-7-minute-frosting
As for the filling, I kind of eyeballed it the first time I made this cake, based on my observation in this video.
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of sour cream
1/3 cup of coconut
2 tbsp of milk
Thanks for this recipe!
How much coconut milk and self-rising flour do we need?
What are the measurements of the ingredients
As usual Paula delicious
Is the icing regular crystal sugar or powdered?
I have a cookbook of hers and it just says sugar so I tried to find it online. It is regular crystal sugar!
Amazing
The icing isn't in the recipe listed in the notes of this video only the cake. So what is the icing recipe. I couldn't find it in her cookbook either.
The at looks so damn good!
gorgeous cake!!!
Wow! I really want to make this! One question....while it sits in the fridge for 3 days, can it sit inside one of those plastic cake holders that has a lid?
Yes. My mother always put her cake like this in a Tupperware (air-tight) cake container. She called the process "ripening the cake" and she also let it sit in the fridge for three days. By the way, the frosting is called "seven minute frosting" and it is used on other cakes as well without the coconut flakes. This is a very good cake.
Thank you!
I love coconut cake
Please can i ask for a more accurate measurement.
When you say cup of sugar or what ever, it would mice to know either what size cups that's is or better still how many ounces or frames please.
I love this recipe, but I prefer a pineapple filling. So I might add some crushed pineapple to the filling.
I’ve watched so many Paula Deen YTP videos that I can’t tell if this is a YTP or a real video.
HEAVEN
Whete can i get this recipe
Love this!
