- This homemade triple-layer coconut cake recipe with cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut is the ultimate go-to cake dessert. You won’t believe how moist and flavorful this cake is.
Coconut cake is a classic Southern cake consisting of layers of coconut-flavored white sponge cake coated in cream cheese frosting and then covered in coconut flakes or shreds. The recipe for coconut cake was first recorded in the Mineral Point Tribune in 1869 as “cocoanut cake.” The early version of the recipe also used meringue as the icing but has since moved onto the more common cream cheese buttercream.
This cake is incredibly moist and has just the right coconut flavor. Coconut cake is great to serve up during the summer months as the coconut flavor evokes a tropical feel. I prefer to serve this cake at room temperature so that the frosting is soft, which will immensely complement the flavors of the cake layers.

I made this cake for a dinner club and i was a huge success!! The dieters in the group were just going to taste it and I noticed that the entire piece just vanished right off their plates. Lets just say, they could not resist.
Thank you for a trusted recipe yet again.
My pleasure! appreciate you trying it
Looks delicious and thanks for TIP of adding corn starch to all-purpose flour to make Cake flour!
Hmmm...lemon curd instead of buttercream between the layers. Hmmmmm.....lemon coconut cake. My mom's favorite. 😋😊
this is the prettiest and cleanest cake and (cake recipe) that I've ever seen. Thanks Billy!
I bet some lemon juice and zest in the frosting would compliment the coconut flavour very well 🤗🤗🤗
Maybe lime instead of lemon.. 😋
I had a three-day coconut cake recipe that I used to make but lost the printed copy. It was very similar to this. I have also made a raspberry compote (not to sweet) to put on the layers and it gives it just the right amount of zing. Looking forward to trying it with this recipe. Thanks for this!
I am making this tomorrow. Looks delicious 🤤
Just made it Chef. Cake is so moist. Frosting was delicious. Very humid in Miami today, came out a bit soft added more icing sugar but otherwise delicious. Did not take a picture as it was sliced as soon as I placed it in the cake stand. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe. 👏
Thanks for giving it a shot!!
I love German Chocolate cake, so I know I'll love this recipe, too. Thanx, Chef Billy Parisi!

Love your video! Beautiful coconut cake!😊
Thanks for watching!
Chef Billy thank you for sharing this awesome recipe! It was easy to follow for me, I am no chef nor professional in the kitchen. But I LOVE cooking and find your videos and techniques easy. Merry Christmas ❤
This looks amazing! Is powdered sugar the same as confectioner's sugar (i.e., with cornstarch)?
Whuuuwhooo! Mmmmmmm! Yummmmy! Man this is an awesome cake! You did a great job!
Hi!! Is this the same recipe for Tom Cruise famous coconut cake...from Doan's Bakery in LA?
What brand of coconut extract do you use?
Oh! Yum!!!
Buy some cake rings to wrap the pans and the tops will bake flat every time.
I love my cake rings! Soak them in water, pin on outside of cake pans and bake. Even layers all the time!!
1. Can I use tapiocha starch if I don't have cornstarch?
2. Can I use a 9x13 if I don't have cake pans?
Thanks!
OMG!!! Someone give me a cigarette!!! I’m definitely going to make this!!
Billy you ROCK!!
One tea spoon is 5 ml. Metric measurement would be measured in milliliters, not grams
Yum!
Do you deliver?? 😂
Are you a mind reader? I’m making one for Easter. Is that a traditional thing and why you posted this recipe?
😊❤😊
Bro, did you develop a stutter? Listen from 5:05…
Oh man that is a crazy audio glitch. I don’t know why it kept repeating. I never picked it up when I was editing. I may need to go back and redo that one. Shoot.
@@ChefBillyParisi no stress! No need to redo it.
WHY on earth would you scrape off that top layer of coconut milk?? That is part of the coconut milk and should be shaken and mixed with the rest of the liquid. I've never heard of that.
This is a $40 cake in 2023
What’s your point? No particularly expensive ingredients here. Corporations are price gouging and calling it inflation. Food prices in the US are too low. We’re the only country where the poor people are fatter than the wealthy.
Another use for the egg yolks would be hollandaise sauce
