    Thanks Tammy! This is the 1st time that I have seen anyone make a fresh coconut cake that reminded me of my grandmother's. She made 2 to 3 coconut cakes each year using fresh coconuts that she bought from Kroger. She would crack them open, extract & grind the meat. She made 3 types. For my grandfather's b/day, she would put homage egg/vanilla custard between the layers. For her sister's b/day she would put homemade lemon curd between the layers and for Xmas, she would put icing & coconuts between the layers. Sometimes her icing was the 7 minute icing; sometimes it was divinity icing; sometimes it was a coconut/buttercream icing. Thanks so much for reminding me!

    I am 86 years old and I am standing here crying, just thinking about Mom starting with a coconut she had to drain of the milk THEN get the bark off the coconut. Then grate the coconut and moisten it a bit with the milk. Divinity icing and Snow White cake with the grated coconut. I can’t stand how we miss her to this day! Mom barked the orders for her funeral the evening before she quietly went to sleep. As she put it she would just doze a bit before breakfast. Precious memories indeed. I am certain she immediately was barking orders for someone to oil the hinges of the gates of Heaven. They squeaked!!!!

When she made German Chocolate cake she made a double recipe of the frosting, that cake was legendary in our family, as was her coconut pound cake, she had a standing request to make two of those for the family reunion, one to share and one that my uncle kept to himself, not sure if he even shared any of it with my aunt!

    I began watching this because coconut cake is my dad's favorite. I have always tried to make special desserts for him and they don't always turn out as pretty as I wish they would when I go to plate them. Luckily, my dad has a saying that always made me feel better. He would say "I know it is going to be good, so you don't have to cut me a piece, just pour me a piece" I knew I would make this cake when you said it might not cut real pretty before you refrigerate. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

    Love my mom's Pistachio cake! I tweaked just the frosting. I miss her so. Being that we are from Hawaii, I still make my own coconut milk and oil. It is common here. Coconuts are abundant. We learned to know if it was to old or to young. We husked them, learned to crack them open just about perfectly around the middle. We drained out the coconut water , which is so delicious and full of nutrients. Then we grated it using a sit down grater my grandpa had since 1940's. I love these memories😊❤😊

    I always asked my mum to make a coconut cake for my birthday. One year the cake stuck in the pans. What was she she to to do? She whipped up lemon pie filling and used it as a glue to hold the broken pieces together. She continued with the coconut frosting. It worked perfectly, and a new birthday cake favorite was born! Many years later my mum admitted to me- “ Leave it to me to make more work for myself!”. Lol. The lemon is a heavenly addition to the coconut. I’m lucky, now my daughter makes my birthday cake. 💖

    Dear Marilyn, This was my mother’s Christmas cake also! In the early days,the store manager would always save a coconut for her. We had so much fun watching her tackle that coconut with a hammer and what other tools she needed to crack that thing open. Bless her heart. She usually had four layers of white cake, and used fresh whipped cream and the shredded coconut in between and on top of and all around the sides. Then it would be kept in the refrigerator in my grandmother’s aluminum cake carrier. It just wasn’t Christmas without Mama’s Christmas Coconut Cake. 🎄 She and my dad have been gone now for many years, and I decided to make Mother’s Cake. No, I didn’t have to “attack” the coconut because the stores now have the fresh shredded coconut in the freezer section. It was good, but not as good as Mother’s was. But I did enjoy the cake and the memories with it. So, Marilyn, I am so glad I saw your story. God Bless You.And I bet we both know what we will be making for next Christmas.🎄❤️🎄

      Marilyn: Your cake sounds like the one my mom used to make. Would you share your recipe, please?
      I am 74 and my mom’s been gone a while, too. She was a hairdresser and worked so hard all the time but especially at Christmas. She would work till late on Christmas Eve. Some Christmases she just didn’t have the energy to make one. It was hard to grate that coconut for such a small woman. When I was in the 6th grade, I came home for the holidays and told Momma I had promised my teacher one of her famous coconut cakes. My poor mom almost passed out.

    Tammy, watching this brings me back to growing up. My mom also made wedding cakes and there was always the smell of cake in the house.
    I lost her in 2017, and miss her desperately when I bake. I hear her voice, "I can smell it, you better check your oven." She greased and flowered her pans exactly the way you did here; my heart felt her.
    I, too, know that she was welcomed Home with Our Lord.

    My mom used to make a coconut cake for Christmas. Hers had 4 layers of white cake and a frosting/filling made from 2 bags of frozen grated coconut, 2 cups of granulated sugar, and 2 cups of sour cream. Mix the sugar and sour cream together and add the coconut. The filling was put between the layers, and then the cake was put in the refrigerator for at least two days to let the filling soak into the layers. Sometimes it was cold enough to keep the cake in a Tupperware cake carrier on the back deck because refrigerator space at Christmas was limited.
    You could also make this as a sheet cake. I used to bake different goodies for friends and neighbors when I was 12-15. Then I got a job at a restaurant that was an independent steakhouse and buffet place like Golden Corral. One of the jobs I was hired to do was revamp the buffet desserts using the yellow and chocolate sheet cakes the restaurant ordered frozen. So I made the coconut cake with the yellow sheet cake and regular sweetened grated coconut that you get in the baking section because the restaurant always stocked it along with sour cream and sugar. The cake was a huge success, and people would call and ask if it was one of the daily desserts that day to decide when to come into the restaurant. The grated frozen coconut is better, but the other also works well.
    It’s not the prettiest cake, but what it lacks in looks, it makes up in flavor. I’ve actually served it as a trifle. I made the cake for a dinner at my church. I had wrapped it up tight, but it’s a messy cake. When I picked it up, it shifted, and I dropped it. Thankfully it landed right side up, but it had a huge crack in it. So I put it in a trifle dish and covered it with whipped cream and cherries. Everyone loved it, and honestly, it was easier to serve.
