I viewed this video when it was posted and made the cake exactly as Vinnie instructed. Although it took up one full shelf of my side-by-side fridge I left it in there for the three full days. Well worth it. I am now a rock star at work because this cake is amazing. Super moist crumb. Fabulous combination of flavor and texture. Thank you Vinnie!
I made this delicious cake for a Birthday and it’s beyond YUMMY! No joke, you WON’T regret making this. I’m definitely keeping this recipe with my favorite cake recipes! Thank You Vinnie Vittles, for sharing Ms. Betty’s recipe!
Don't use a knife to cut the layers, use a piece of thread. Stretch some thread between your two hands and kinda 'slice' it through the layers. Start at the the back and work it towards yourself. Perfect cut every time.
@@TheKazadoodle yes it works. You can use dental floss too. How you do it is wrap the thread all the way around the middle of the cake. Then cross the thread and pull it like a garrote. Cuts it clean every time. The key is having it even.
I only have one fridge and can’t spare the room. If it’s cold enough outside I put it in my garage. But we had a warm day and I was afraid. So I’m doing in a day and a half ahead of time and going to try sticking it in the freezer on and off in hopes it speeds up the process. Wish me luck!! This is my fav coconut cake!! So rich!!
I made this last night for Father’s Day for my dad-my great grandma made it with sour cream just like your recipe. I am so glad you posted-it’s exactly how she made it it and my dad LOVED it! Your recipe is perfect! Thank you so much!
Definitely going to try this one out. Here's a tip on how to slice a cake without messing it up. Use non flavored flossing thread about twice the size of the cake. Then slice the cake in half using the thread in a sawing motion. Success guaranteed! Hope you understand my poor English writing. Love from the Netherlands
That looks amazing! I love coconut.....as does the rest of my family. Thanks for sharing this and e special thank you for sharing a little piece your thanksgiving dinner with us! Everyone looks so happy! Have a great weekend!
Once again, Vinnie, you made my mouth water! Amy's so lucky to have you! You are so cute together, Thanks for sharing your recipes and family with us. God Bless.
Oh my goodness this is the most beautiful coconut cake i've seen in a long time. I am definitely going to make this yummy cake. Thank you Vinnie for sharing your family recipe. I bout laughed myself into the next week when you said your tongue will slap your brain 🤣 😄 😂 MeMa - you go girl!!!
I loved this video....my favorite cake in the world and now I have a clear easy recipe to try. It will be my Christmas showcase dessert. Thank you, Mr. Vinnie
Today am making my third cake with this recipe. The first one I took to a church function, the other one for home,now this cake today was for request for another church function. It”s the best coconut cake ever.
It sounds scrumptious!! My mom used to make Italian Cream Cake that somewhat reminds me of this. That is another cake that gets better the longer it sets in the fridge. It's one of those recipes where you put each bite in your mouth but wait and savor it before you actually start chewing!! Sounds like Ms. Betty's cake evokes the same sensation!! Love hearing you whisper at Vinnie!
Vinnie I will share a way to slice thru your cake layers that is a never fail. Take a string even a good heavy duty sewing thread will work just fine wrap it a round the middle of each layer cross your hands over each other and gently pull the ends of the thread toward you.Make sure the thread is even all around the layer when you start pulling. you will have a nice even cut with no breakage. I have used the method for as long as i have been baking cakes. Hope this works for you.
Thanks so much for showing how to dissolve the sugar in the sour cream! I had a recipe for this cake and I have made it before but it was always runny because I tried to stir it too much with the whipped topping!
YUMMY!! Beautiful cake! It sounds delicious. I always have a coconut cake for Christmas, so this will be the recipe I use for this Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing. Vinnie is adorable and you both seem perfect together. Once again, thanks for sharing!
You're adorable! You must be from my home state of Tennessee because of your accent! My sister made this for a dinner party and it was the best coconut cake that I've ever put in my mouth! (Including my mama's!!!) So I'm going to have to make this for my next dinner party!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Okay, I am no spring chicken but you have made recipes I have never seen nor tasted! You made a BEAUTIFUL cake! My mouth is watering again! Thank you for sharing your recipes and your beautiful family with us. P.S. Love your sense of humor and the apron is great!
OMGosh, this looks amazingly yummy!! You did a great job with cutting your two layers in half, that is not an easy job to do! I think you did a great job with icing your cake too. Another job that I'm not the greatest at either. lol There are a lot of foods that get better with time, the flavors can really get through out the whole recipe, making it so yummy! I can't wait to try this cake out Vinnie. I think it was a big hit at your Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks for sharing your mother's recipe with us.
You can cut even layers by taking a ruler and measuring halfway up the layer then marking it all the way around with toothpicks, and then take a piece of dental floss and wrap it around the cake crossing it over itself and pulling in one smooth motion. Here is a link: www.health.com/health/video/0,,20811118,00.html First pineapple with cheese and now sour cream with sugar. . . my taste buds are excited to try these new gastronomic adventures!
Vinnie, I'm a little late on watching your channel, but you know what they say, better late than never! YOU ROCK in the kitchen!! Gonna try this for Thanksgiving this year!!
Cool Whip is non-dairy whipped topping made to look like whipped cream. Dream Whip, which research says is available in Europe, could be used. It's said to be with the jelly at the market.
This cake reminds me of a cake we have in our family Pineapple Cake... the pineapple is in the frosting but it is basically like this cake! Yummy! I'm going to try this one out too!
OMGoodness! I'm dying watching this amazing creation...(addicted to coconut btw)....so happy you posted this and will be making it asap...just not sure i can wait for set time lol. thanks for recipe and soooo love that you got your family to do real live taste test, great fun:)
Not to be rude, but might I suggest that you toast the remaining coconut you used to decorate the finished cake? That would add an extra layer of flavor and an extra pop of color and a wee bit of crunchy texture. Just a thought. Thanks so much for all of your amazing videos.
I am going to PIN this to my Would Like to try Board. My FSIL loves anything coconut and will bake this for his upcoming B=day. Will let u know the results. I have cooked things before where the longer it sits the better and I know why. Was curious as to why the more days this cake sits the better. Also, should the cake be served wright out of fridge or can be served room temp? Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of your Holiday season.
ladybugcarrie To us it is better right out of the fridge. But, it can sit for a bit before you serve it. I think the filling sinks into the layers of the cake and just makes the layers so moist. All I know is that if it doesn't sit it is not as good.
Amy I was commenting to Vince like I do with your videos and he made me laugh because as I said it, then he would say it a split second later as with you. I an tell you guys are a lot alike. This looks FANTASTIC. dee
mayday that looks so good. Thx Vinnie, mayday your over may be like my and so i what i do is i bake things in less minutes that it asks for exp. if it ask for a 35 min. in the oven i put it for 30 and that always works for me.hope it helps with future cakes :)
aqualps1 sorry but what u just said made no sense whatsoever. try calling her MAYMAY and then ck before u post for errors and sense. sorry just calling it like i see it 😅😄
Save yourself with $2.00! Buy 2 sets of Aluminum Foil Cake Round pans at the Dollar store. Then pour cake mix evenly into pans. Works every time w/o the trouble of trying to evenly cut the cake in 2 layers. The only person who can Icing and Cut layers of cake perfect is Martha Stewart.
Lol, will make your tongue slap your brain...hahaha .Cracks me up! You know coconut is one of those things people either love or hate. I'm not a real big fan but this looks good enough to try!
Alton Brown used 7-minute Frosting for his coconut cake, if that helps. And here's a link for homemade cool whip. www.somethingswanky.com/homemade-cool-whip/
Try using a long piece of dental floss to cut the layers in half. Put the layer on a cake pedestal for easier access. This isn’t an original idea so maybe Google it if you’re not quite sure what I mean.😀
I thought this was sour cream coconut cake made from scratch; not yellow cake from a box with coconut icing! cool whip? and someone paid $50 for it? 😖 oh my
+Heidi Clark you should make it from scratch. I'm sure you could adjust all the ingredients to fit you diet and lifestyle. I bet it would be delicious. We sold that cake for $50 every year in our fundraiser.
Maymay Made It Crafts I was thinking it would have coconut in the cake batter, and sour cream like a pound cake consistency. And $50 it must taste exquisite! 😊
Heidi Clark this is still a coconut and sour cream cake. just cause u wanted it to be different doesnt mean its not. i guess everyone had an opinion but sometimes yours isnt always the right one! he did a great job then and i bet it is still the same!!
Heidi T. I've made this cake before it's just like my grandmother's recipe and it's worth $50! It's a delicious cake and even though it's not many ingredients people always love this cake. It is one of my favorites!

+Bonnie Wilson Now that is genius and I will be stealing this little helpful jewel. Thank you!
Dental floss will work too and it's stronger than regular thread.
Bonnie what a fantastic tip, thank you for sharing it :)
Your family is beautiful, Thanks for sharing.
+Roberta Cooper Thank you Roberta!
Well done I look forward to trying it out 😋
Looks good. I use white cake mix, with coconut milk for my liquid and poke tiny holes in the cooling process and drizzle with cream of coconut :)
Looks delicious, you did a great job. Will be trying this recipe.👍
Thanks so much for showing how to dissolve the sugar in the sour cream! I had a recipe for this cake and I have made it before but it was always runny because I tried to stir it too much with the whipped topping!
Lol .. Love it... Vinnie you did a great job and it looked delicious 🍰 I'm loving this series.
Nicely done Vinnie!
A+ Vinnie. Not a coconut fan, but I might make this one to share with the family. TFS.
YUMMY!! Beautiful cake! It sounds delicious. I always have a coconut cake for Christmas, so this will be the recipe I use for this Christmas. Thanks so much for sharing. Vinnie is adorable and you both seem perfect together. Once again, thanks for sharing!

My favorite Vince video!! Cake looks good too!
Marianne McKinnon Yay! Thanks!
My grandma would use fresh, whole coconut and use the coconut water to bake the cake, so you get coconut flavor throughout the whole cake.
Okay, I am no spring chicken but you have made recipes I have never seen nor tasted! You made a BEAUTIFUL cake! My mouth is watering again! Thank you for sharing your recipes and your beautiful family with us. P.S. Love your sense of humor and the apron is great!
Judy Garner Thanks Judy!!!
There is no way in my house that cake would last 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Thanks for sharing.
Lol i said the same thing i will be the maine one cut it.
That was fun seeing the family at the end :)
Can't wait to try it!
OMGosh, this looks amazingly yummy!! You did a great job with cutting your two layers in half, that is not an easy job to do! I think you did a great job with icing your cake too.

I have already saved and printed out the recipe. This looks really good.
Ok Vin, i ate some of my cake and it taste great. Thanks

AWESOME!!!!! Keep'm coming
That looked scrumpcious!! How did you keep it in your fridge for 3 days without anyone touching it! My husband would have been all over it!!
Vinnie, I'm a little late on watching your channel, but you know what they say, better late than never! YOU ROCK in the kitchen!! Gonna try this for Thanksgiving this year!!
This sounds sooooo good. I will be making this.
Luv coconut cake. They are so pretty.
That looks amazing omg do I want a slice.
And I love the two of you together.
Looks so good I will try and make that but what is cool whip?
Vin nice you did good the cake looked pretty
Megan Kymsdottir Cool whip is basically a vanilla flavored whipped cream. It is premade and we find it in our freezer sections of super markets.
Cool Whip is non-dairy whipped topping made to look like whipped cream. Dream Whip, which research says is available in Europe, could be used. It's said to be with the jelly at the market.
Megan Kymsdottir cool whip is a non dairy whipped topping full of chemicals just like that boxed cake mix! LOL 😕
Heidi Clark you are one more of a JERK!! Now thats laughable 🤣keep your mean opinions to yourself!
This cake reminds me of a cake we have in our family Pineapple Cake... the pineapple is in the frosting but it is basically like this cake! Yummy! I'm going to try this one out too!
laura lecroy That is funny, while we were making this the last time we thought that if you added pinapple it would be kind of Pina Colada-ish.
Ha ha see great minds think alike! I'll send year the recipe y'all should try it too
laura lecroy 8
That looks so good!! I can't wait to try it :) TFS
OMGoodness! I'm dying watching this amazing creation...(addicted to coconut btw)....so happy you posted this and will be making it asap...just not sure i can wait for set time lol. thanks for recipe and soooo love that you got your family to do real live taste test, great fun:)
I wish you could do a Christmas home tour this year!
I will try it
Looks perfect to me!!!!
Have you ever frozen a coconut cake? If so, how do you thaw it? Room temp for 4 hours or in the refrigerator for a day?
Not to be rude, but might I suggest that you toast the remaining coconut you used to decorate the finished cake? That would add an extra layer of flavor and an extra pop of color and a wee bit of crunchy texture. Just a thought. Thanks so much for all of your amazing videos.
Looks tasty!
Looks like job well done

Divide layers by using a piece of dental floss. Wrap it around middle of layer and cross over then pull... easy
Remind me, did you use coconut from the bag and not frozen for the filling?
Save yourself with $2.00! Buy 2 sets of Aluminum Foil Cake Round pans at the Dollar store. Then pour cake mix evenly into pans. Works every time w/o the trouble of trying to evenly cut the cake in 2 layers. The only person who can Icing and Cut layers of cake perfect is Martha Stewart.

now thats something i havent seen anyone make in ages coconut cake my goodness lol''
YUM YUM
Did your tongue slap your brain? 🤣. Never heard that before! I’m going to remember that one. Looks great! 😊
I made this for our thanksgiving...I messed one layer up but you couldn’t tell😂
Made this for my family dinner today.....IT WAS SO GOOD❤️❤️❤️
cake looks so good but can't use coolwhip could you use real whipping cream and how much if you can thanks Vicky
I don't see why you couldn't use real whipping cream. It looks like about a cup, cup and half of cool whip so about the same amount in whipping cream.
Alton Brown used 7-minute Frosting for his coconut cake, if that helps. And here's a link for homemade cool whip. www.somethingswanky.com/homemade-cool-whip/
Tee Bee nooooo cant use that for this cake! it would be a big lump of sugar on there in 3 days!! sorry
Can I use a sugar substitute?
Make your tongue 👅 slap your brain.....roflmbo 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Awww,, I was excited about making this but you lost me with the Cool Whip
+frizbeee feel free to make your own whipped cream.
Stop putting yourself down, that cake looks great. Some women couldnt do that 👍
Looks good i don't have room in the refrigerator, do you have another recipe on coconut cake?
Is that two cakes cut in half to make 4 layers?
What exactly is a butter recipe cake mìx ? I don't understand.
Hi, you can purchase a box mix that is called butter cake from your local grocery store, thanks
Did you throw Maymay under the bus, Vinnie? 😂😂😂
Try using a long piece of dental floss to cut the layers in half. Put the layer on a cake pedestal for easier access. This isn’t an original idea so maybe Google it if you’re not quite sure what I mean.😀
Thank you for the TNT recipe. That is my hubbys favorite cake.
But I'll have to disguise it as something else so it can rest for 3 days.
~Tammy~
Vinne is it 6 oz (2 containers) or 1 1/2 cup of cool whip you just put in a measuring cup
He did a great job. I don't like coconut so could you sub something else?
scrapsandthings1 not sure, I think you might could use crushed drained pineapple. We talked about that some time ago just haven't tried it.
Slivered toasted almonds or pecans would work nicely.
Sorry to be picky, but white stuff shows up better in colored bowls, a different color for each, if possible.
Tee Bee yeah, we saw that. I only have white bowls in that size. I am a white dish person cause they go with every season. Thanks for the tip!
***** All the same, it's great to watch someone cook with such joy.
Hey Vin, im getting a lot of hits on face book, hope you dont mind me sending them your info. . i will take your credit
I thought this was sour cream coconut cake made from scratch; not yellow cake from a box with coconut icing! cool whip? and someone paid $50 for it? 😖 oh my
+Heidi Clark you should make it from scratch. I'm sure you could adjust all the ingredients to fit you diet and lifestyle. I bet it would be delicious. We sold that cake for $50 every year in our fundraiser.
Maymay Made It Crafts I was thinking it would have coconut in the cake batter, and sour cream like a pound cake consistency. And $50 it must taste exquisite! 😊
Heidi Clark this is still a coconut and sour cream cake. just cause u wanted it to be different doesnt mean its not. i guess everyone had an opinion but sometimes yours isnt always the right one! he did a great job then and i bet it is still the same!!
Heidi T. J
Heidi T. I've made this cake before it's just like my grandmother's recipe and it's worth $50! It's a delicious cake and even though it's not many ingredients people always love this cake. It is one of my favorites!
Use dental floss to cut the cake.
