How To Make Creamy Coconut Cake | Allrecipes.com 

I made this cake according to the recipe in the video and it came out beyond delicious so amazing, my friends and family are thrilled about it

I baked this for Easter dinner dessert. I toasted the coconut for the top right on the stove top in a small teflon coated frying pan. It only took a few minutes of moving it around on a medium high heat to get it all nice and brown. I used a Duncan Hines Vanilla cake mix and added 1/2 cup of coconut. When the cake was cooled, I poked holes in it with a large tined fork instead of a straw and slowly poured on the cream of coconut and condensed milk I let that set for 30 minutes before frosting it with real whipped cream that I had stabilized with instant coconut-cream pudding by adding 3 tablespoons of cream of coconut instant pudding with 1/4 cup of heavy cream and let it dissolve before adding it to the rest of the cream to whip.I tinted the whipped cream a light pink for a little Easter color I had seen comments from others who have used instant pudding to stabilize cream and some had said that little beads of the instant pudding was visible in the cream so this method fixed that small annoyance. The cake was amazing and everyone raved about it. One family member joked that she wanted to "slap her momma for not making it when she was a kid". We all laughed but almost everyone asked for a second piece even though we were all filled with Easter ham. It's one of the easier and most delicious cake I've ever made.

Love this coconut cake! I make it for birthdays & even Holidays! My family loves it too.

This cake is giving you a glimpse of American baking history, MsChickencheese. The recipe probably dates to the 1920s when boxed cake mixes first appeared and were a big deal. Betty Crocker prepared cake mixes from General Mills with the "just add water and mix" slogan, debuted in 1947. Touted as a wave of the future, they were positioned as "streamlining" women's lives and making cakes more of any everyday or every week dessert. The first chocolate box cake mix was introduced in 1948 by Pillsbury. Nothing says you have to use a boxed mix for this coconut cake though. Here's a link to a "made from scratch" white cake that will work just as well: allrecipes.com/Recipe/White-Texas-Sheet-Cake/Detail.aspx. Happy baking!

I love the all recipes videos, keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful recipes.

This looks like a fast and easy way to make something that will taste amazing. I like the idea someone had of mixing real whipped cream for the topping sweetened with a little frosting sugar and adding crushed pineapple. Instead of poking the holes with a straw, you can use a plastic drink stirrer or just poke holes all through the cake with a fork.

I made this cake and my family loved it!

I made this for Father's Day, tomorrow. My dad loves coconut cake. I saw this one, it looked easy and yummy! I put some coconut on top and added some roasted flakes as well. I also made the whip topping myself.....makes me feel like I made the whole thing from scratch. BTW...I love the box short cut, it saves a lot of time. Keep on posting! :))

I made a white cake by scratch then added the coconut shreds into the batter before baking really elevated it.

I made this last night. All ingredients were already in my pantry, glad I didn't need to go to the store for anything, quick and easy, and very tasty. Thank you.

Thank you for your question, Natalie. You can find the recipe here: allrecipes.com/Recipe/creamy-coconut-cake/detail.aspx

Love all recipes recipes

Awesome! Love it. Thank you for sharing,like you said, soooo simple. I will definitely be making this.

i make this but combine the cool whip with canned crushed pineapple! it's amazing and it turns into a piña colada cake!

mmm this cake looks so good! similar to tres leches! :) I will have to make this cake one day!! yum

i feel like you guys opened up a bunch of packages and assembled them together.

Beautiful!

That looks delicous! Thank you for the recipe! :)

so you can't bake this outside the US? What's in Frozen whipped topping? We don't have such things in the UK

Awesome answer :)

I stopped the video once I heard bake a white boxed cake. What am I here for if ur just gonna tell me to use already make food? Thats not cooking/baking...

I tried to get over the box cake mix but cool whip frosting......really

i agree... how do i make the prepared cocomut cake since i don't stay in the US ... can someone tell me or send me the link plzzzzzzz...? although i believe that the creamy cocunut top must be great...

wouldn't this be too sweet considering the cake is sweet as need be?? the sweet and condensed milk and coconut cream is too sweet to add I would say.. interesting I'm just afraid it might be to sweet.

I am gonna try this but on a chocolate cake.

I have never seen coconut cream at my markets, is there any way around this? Please and thanks

oh heck yeah!

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! :-D

find your own directions for making cake from scratch then..i find this useful as cake mix is really not that different from making your own mix(especially if you're gonna pour the coconut cream over). saves ALOT of time too!

Easy

You know, a cake mix is one thing, but seriously, does any and I mean ANY one in their informed right mind, even look at Cool Whip and think “ There’s is something that I’d like to put into my body,or worse, my family’s bodies “???????

I tried this last night. The cream part is a bit much. If I made this again, I would have used half as much.

can i use desicated coconut?

Condensed Milk - Milk, sugar, butter. Then boil for two hours. Coconut Cream - Shaved coconut pulp, coconut water, milk or cream. Then boil for an hour. Oh then you got the cake, which is butter, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, vanilla, milk, eggs. Then bake that for about 30 minutes. A can of condense milk, coconut cream and a box a premixed cake; bake the cake for 20 minutes and then add the creams. Yeah that would be bad. The Mayans predicted it. This would end civilization as we know it.

Once I heard "packaged cake", I hit pause, and said hell no!! Boxed cakes are yucky.

How do I make the topping?

The amount of sugar in the cream of coconut, condensed milk, coconut flakes and cake mix???Other than that... I'll sub w/ regular coconut milk. Make cake from scratch. Use less condensed milk. A little coconut extract. I love desserts but that recipe would take me out.

whoa

This would be a great recipe if not everything was literally ready made...

did anyone actually make this? cause all is see is arguing down below and no one actually said how it tasted....??

where is recipe?

How is that a recipe if it calls for using prepared cake mix =_=

At 0:45 that bowl is too small!

I have made a better recipe with the coconut in the batter. It tastes amazing and 100x better than this one.

Frozen whipped topping is made from petroleum by-products. It leaves a greasy film in my mouth and tastes like Vaseline! No thank you, I'd use real whipped cream and I'd bake my own cake, cake mix tastes like chemicals. How lazy can a person be to not be able to make a simple white cake from scratch.

IF YOU PLAN TO BAKE A CAKE MIX DO NOT FOLLOW THIS RECIPE White cake mix is too bland and taste artificial if you follow the boxed instructions. A Butter recipe cake mix is preferred for texture and taste. But even then, still don’t follow the instructions. To give the cake a “homemade/scratch” taste, instead of water add buttermilk, you can keep the oil but substituting it with 2 sticks of melted margarine hypes up the “butter” taste. But DONT use real butter, it will dry your cake out, margarine will keep the cake moist. And add vanilla extract and even coconut if your a coconut fan. As for the topping, I personally prefer the traditional powder sugar recipe but lately I’ve been mixing sour cream, gradually sugar, vanilla extract and real frozen coconut flakes.

Cake mix....ah....no.

Reeeeally???? A box? Skip!
