i made this cake one time as my second tier in a wedding cake. omgggggg everybody was telling me it was soooooo good. the picky groom loved it so much....ohhh hahahha i forgot i commented already before lol
Holy moly, I can't remember ever tasting anything better than this cake. This is a million dollar recipe. Thank you for sharing. This will be a family tradition. xo
This is my 2nd time baking this cake. The perfect amount of sweetness and coconut not overpowering . I added this to my recipe book. It was a huge hit my family loves it.
I just made this for my grandsons 6th birthday, it was his request and I had no recipe for coconut cake! It's absolutely perfect!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I want to thank you for such a great recipe! my family loved this cake, and us 3 finished this cake within 48 hours of baking it. I did make a few changes: I added a bit of lemon curd in the middle along with the coconut custard. and because I wanted to cut down on our sugar and butter consumption, I didn't make the buttercream frosting. instead used the custard itself to ice the cake because so much of it was left! and then decorated it with dessicated toasted coconut!! I love this cake. When you decrease the sugar amounts, it is still very delicious. thank you. it is indeed the perfect coconut cake. regards, Tina
I tried baking this cake last week and I just had to come back to write a review. I have never baked a cake successful, but this one came out amazing. I followed the recipe exactly as you have it, and the cake was perfect. My family loved it, and thought I had purchased it from a bakery, they especially liked the layers of coconut pastry cream. Thank you for this recipe!
You are most welcome! Thanks for returning to report back!! I love reading how much you all loved it! The coconut pastry cream definitely brings it all together and makes the cake super special 🍰💗
I used this and its very good! I made half the recipe of custard, and used a condensed coconut milk buttercream frosting recipe and it was perfect! Going to be my new go to cake to make!
A suggestion, if you wish to have a more intense coconut flavor in the cake use coconut milk instead of reg. milk and add coconut extract...even more mmmmmmmmm!
the coconut milk suggestion sounds amazing however I probably wouldn't add the extract because a little definitely goes a long way with any type of extracts or essences.
I made this cake and it was super delicious, but I do have to say that if I make this again I'll be sure to poke holes throughout the cake so the cream can seep in because I found that the cake was a bit dry but it was still moist. The cake again was super delicious but I added more coconut and chopped pecans in the cake so in every bite there was texture. I made a 6 layer cake for my grandmas birthday and she wanted coconut cake with pecans. I made a sponge cake with flavors of coconut added to it and put it between the layers so the bottom and top of the cake would have crunch. For the frosting I made a buttercream frosting but I didn't make it really sweet. What I did was creamed a cup of unsalted butter for like 6 minutes then added 2 cups of powdered sugar (1 cup at a time, creaming for 2 minutes) and it was pretty sweet there so I didn't add anymore and the frosting was still thick. I didn't add any milk at all. I covered the cake with toasted coconut and chopper pecans. Try this cake guys 💓.
Alicia Gaytan thanks! First time that I made it was dry too, so looking at your suggestion is helpful. Also, definitely going to do your buttercream frosting. Might be better. Her option of frosting was to thin and too sweet. 👍👍
I made my sweetie a delicious dinner of Maryland crab cakes and garlic & chive red bliss mashed potatoes with a vinaigrette spinach salad.The cake was a winner.I spent entire day preparing this dinner.He's totally worth it.Thanks ...
The pastry cream recipe is the best I have ever had; and I have tried out A Lot of the popular pastry creams found on the internet! I have over the years made it without the coconut, swapped a couple of ingredients in a pinch, used it for a variations of desserts - and it never fails!
I have made these on Thursday. I enjoyed it on the next day so much!! The batter is sooo good!!! The cake itself was so fluffy so nice! Thanks for sharing this recipes! I used half of the pastry cream and in the frosting I added reduced coconut milk instead of milk and it turned out as one of the most delicious cakes I have ever made ! The whole family loved it! The whole process takes time, so it is not a simple cake. At the end the result is going to be amazing! Again thanks for the recipes !
Thank you for reporting back! Glad you all loved it! And yes, not a super quick recipe as it has three parts (cake, buttercream, and pastry cream between the layers) but well worth it! Such a special treat 😊
It’s was truly heavenly me and my husband ate it for a week.. we went out for dinner but skipped desert so we could come back home to this... was amazing 😉
followed the recipe until the pastry cream but didnt add the ehavy cream bcs we didnt have any and it still turned out rly nice! thank you for the recipe :)
Hi. I bake this cake for my husband on Father’s Day. They love love it. It is sooooo delicious but maybe i didn’t use cake flour. They cake kind of falling apart😤. I didn’t follow ur instructions of replacing some flour and add in baking powder. Anyway. Cake still so tasty thou. Thank you and can’t wait to see more of your video 😊👍
+Titie andelina Wiji Thanks for stopping by! You can try vanilla extract instead, but you won't have the same flavor and when I've tried vanilla extract. I was able to taste the slight alcohol in the extract, but that's just me. I also just love seeing the actual vanilla beans in there. As for the height of the cake pans, just the typical cake pan will do (2 - 3 inches in height). Good luck! :)
this is such a tender cage and the layers are not very thick so I recommend cutting the cake with dental floss as I did. took away any of the headache of cutting it with my serrated cake knife. :-) wonderful wonderful cake I have looked my whole life for the perfect coconut cake. This is number one thus far.
I am making this for my grandfather's birthday it looks delicious could you please tell me were to buy a vanilla bean or how much vanilla extract does it equal amazing cake the best I have ever seen☺
I would recommend the vanilla bean in the custard because the vanilla extract left a slight alcohol taste when I recipe tested it, and the vanilla bean just gives it a little sumpin' sumpin'. Plus, it adds to the experience to be able to see the tiny specks of vanilla bean in the custard. But I'll leave it to your own discretion. You can find vanilla beans in the spice aisle of just about any grocery store. :) Hope that helps and happy early bday to your grandfather!! xx
OMG, I just made this. I used a loaf cake pan, and it toke 40 minutes in the oven, since the loaf ban is higher than the pans you used. It turned out so moist and fluffy, it doesn't even need any filling or frosting. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.
11:26 AM. Hello I made this cake and it was gone in 3 days lol Thank You it was so good. .. However I might have messed up on the powdered sugar . I could have swore you said 7 cups of powdered sugar for the frosting and the recipe said 3 1/2 cups . Im still pretty new to this baking so maybe I misunderstood some where . It was still delicious.
thank you Ella for this great looking and tasting cake!!! i made it last week and it turned out to be perfect! now i keep watching the video even after i made this cake just so i listen to the song hahaha! what is the name of the song please????
Thank you for putting proper frosting on coconut cake... I can't stand it when people ruin a beautiful coconut cake with cream cheese frosting,....coconut cake is my very favorite
Hi! I was wondering if i could substitute the dairy for almond or soy milk? And if i could substitute the heavy cream for something else? Because i will be making it for someone who is lactose intolerant! It look delicious!!
+renata denora I can't say how it will turn out, but you could try using coconut cream instead of heavy cream as well. Coconut milk, rice milk, and almond milk are good alternatives for dairy as well in dessert recipes. Good luck!!
I made this today,And it came out really good. I am a novice and still learning. The Custard isthe highlight of this recipe. This is the best coconut cake recipe ever.! Thank you.. Looking forward to check out other recipes in your channel..

Beautiful comment Madam!!!
this looks like a very good recipe. i am making it for my kids in the coming weeks.
Love the idea of pastry cream in the layers. Such a nice alternative to buttercream.
Thank you! It’s the special component for this cake in my opinion!

A suggestion, if you wish to have a more intense coconut flavor in the cake use coconut milk instead of reg. milk and add coconut extract...even more mmmmmmmmm!
I prefer a more natural, not as intense coconut flavor but for those who like it even stronger, then for sure! :)
the coconut milk suggestion sounds amazing however I probably wouldn't add the extract because a little definitely goes a long way with any type of extracts or essences.
Honest and Tasty
I did the same as most coconut cakes find me struggling to pull out the coconut flavor.
And grease the pans with coconut oil.
This cake came out great! And im a beginner in the kitchen. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.

Wow He is a lucky man to have you! Im sure you love him very much !
Tip if you save the peel from the vanilla stick it in regular sugar and you have vanilla sugar all year around
It looks sooo amazing 🤤 and I really want to make it 😍 but Can I use coconut milk instead ?
You are just precious! Your voice is so easy to listen to. My cake is so pretty thank you

I’ve loved this recipe for years now. I’m thinking of doing cupcakes and piping the custard into the cupcakes. Do you think it will work🌸?
Haven’t done it but worth a try!

Coconut cake is the best cake you can make! The longer it sits, the more moist it gets. I kid you not, I made a 2 layer cake and it was gone in 1 day!
True!!

Beautiful cake - can I suggest a layer of Raspberry Jam through the middle layer, I can't say it will make it better for everyone.
Or Pineapple presserve.
Can I make this gluten free? If yes, do I need to add anything for consistency?
great recipe!! can i use half coconut Milk in the batter
Of course you can try it, but I'm not sure if the texture will be as tender.
Hi eu gostava que desse a receita mais complta obrigada

Love this cake....
+Desarie Lewis love that you love it!
Hi, can we use fresh cream frosting instead of butter cream?
I made this cake and the flavor is amazing! However, it was a little dry - any recommendations for next time? I love it but would like it a little more moist next time. Thanks!
Hmm, if it was dry, most likely it was over baked. I would watch the oven temp/time next time and possibly remove it sooner.
Thank you! Will keep an eye on the temp. I’ve tried many coconut cakes and this is by far the one with the best taste! Loved the frosting!
The other thing I thought of is to make sure you don’t over mix the batter. That may help too :)
Thanks!
