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
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 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
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.
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
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 want to make coconut cake like the black people bake. There is this black man I've met in the Philippines one time. He refused to give me the recipe how he made it.😭 Anybody knows how the Southerns bake it?
I loved everything except the frosting. This is a classic American frosting I believe, but I think it's too buttery and too sweet. I'd probably try making an italian meringue buttercream next time so it isn't that sweet or buttery.
If buttercream frosting isn’t your thing, you could totally try a meringue! Or even just some powdered sugar dusted over the top. Or even some whipped cream!
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!
I made the cake yesterday. The frosting didn't work. The coconut pastry cream was amazing. The inner coconut cake was too dry and boring. The cake in general was not that great :/
Evelyn M. Young you’re right! Years ago, a friend of mine used to make a fabulous cake with a simple cake batter from Betty Crocker and then poke the cake while hot and then pouring the Coco Lopez 😀
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 😊👍
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
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 🍰💗
the first time I saw this video I thought u were on crack but then I realized u just really love ur coconut cake lol...n so do I. ...I've looked at many other recipes n I like urs d best so I'm making it this week for my birthday.
Well, just the thought of eating some of this marvelous cake makes me appear that way too! It’s that delicious! By the way, who do you hang out with,anyway? Crack? Ha!
+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 looks amazing! However, every time I make a cake from scratch using cake flour it comes out super dry and heavy. I end up just throwing the entire thing away! Can you tell me why this happens? I always end up just using store-bought cake mix. Fail 😐
It was even better this time-rave reviews from my friends. I drank too much and got into political argument with my host and his friends, but all was forgiven after they ate your cake..haha
Suggestion: your cake will become more dense and change the baking time if you just scoop out the flour, instead fluff the flour before of even shake flour into your measuring cups. Ps you can add the cornstarch to your flour instead of cake flour but it’s really not the same, cake flour is much lighter, I’ve used both and cake flour is way fluffy then the cornstarch but if that’s all you have then it will be okay.
Any idea if I can make the filling a week ahead of time and store it in the fridge or will it separate? Trying to get as much done before hand as I possibly can
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 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 ...
7 cups of powdered sugar for the frosting!!!!! This is 1750 gr!!! I have never ever heard of such a unbelievably huge amount of sugar in 1 single cake.
Frosting is almost completely made up of sugar and butter. So unless you want to eat butter straight up, the sugar is necessary. It’s a lot of cake so it needs enough frosting to cover it. But by all means, adjust the amounts to your liking. :)
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.
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????
Like ur cake,but oh!!! I m from another end of earth,so plse talk slowly and dont measure by ounce etc instead use spoon etc that way we understand.And when u use less ingrediemt,its easy for me,otherwise there is no way for us to do the same,keep it up.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't finish watching the video before I got to that step. Please forgive me. It was excellent, worth the effort. Thanks again and sorry
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
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.
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!!!!
That's wonderful! I'm so happy and you're so, so welcome! xx
And happy birthday to your grandson too!! :D

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!
This cake came out great! And im a beginner in the kitchen. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.
I made this recipe for my bf and he loved it! He's requesting it again.

Just made this cake. It is a real hit! Light and filling. Beautifully subtle coconut flavour. Creamy and not too sweet! Thank you
+Patricia Muscat You're so welcome! 💗Glad you loved it! 😘
I made the cake yesterday. The frosting didn't work. The coconut pastry cream was amazing. The inner coconut cake was too dry and boring. The cake in general was not that great :/
just use Coco Lopez condensed coconut cream from the alcohol section and whip with heavy cream. easier than making pastry cream.
thanks so much for this suggestion--I will try it--
How much of each. Thanks!
That's what I was wondering if I can use. The coconut cream.
Evelyn M. Young you’re right! Years ago, a friend of mine used to make a fabulous cake with a simple cake batter from Betty Crocker and then poke the cake while hot and then pouring the Coco Lopez 😀
Won't be the same. Homemade pastry cream of any kind is always tastier. ☺️

I'm making that cake NOW as a trial for my little daughter's bday!!!
Aww, you're a good mama :)

How many grams are 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter? On my country our sticks aren't as small as yours
Click the recipe link in the description box and you will be able to find the metric measurements:)

Why put butter in the flour. Easier to mix eggs, sugar and butter till creamy, incorporate milk and add this mixture to the dry.
Thank you for checking! God bless you! 🌞👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Getting the ingredient's today...Can't wait to make :)

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.

She says 7 cups of powdered sugar at 4:20 but it's actually half that,
3 1/2 cups as shown in the frosting recipe.

OMG! i made this before in teh wedding of my bestfriend as my second tier... and its a bomb!
That’s amazing! Thanks for trying it out for such a monumental occasion too! 🙏❤️
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.

U are cake 😍
There is an true ordained marriage between coconut and raspberries!
Thankyou a lot
Am sure it must be yummy ...
But that's a lot of sugarrrrr
Is there cream in the pastry cream or not? It's in the recipe but not on video!
There sure is. 4:55 minute mark
