  • 1 box yellow cake mix 1 1/2 cups sugar
    3 pkgs. frozen coconut 1-8oz cool whip
    1-8oz sour cream
    Prepare cake mix as directed for 2 layers(or 4 layers as i did). U can also sub 1/2 cup of coconut milk plus water to make 1 cup liquid. Prepare 2-4 pans greasing & flouring. Bake layers until golden brown.
    Mix filling using the sugar & sour cream mixed well & add 1 1/2 -2 (6 ounce)packages frozen coconut and stir well and place in refrigerator until needed.
    Frosting: Mix 8 ounces cool whip with 1/2 - 1 package frozen coconut. Fold coconut in gently and place in refrigerator. **Cool whip toughens if stirred too much!
    When layers are cool, place first layer on cake stand(*remember to prick layers with a fork prior to putting filling on them) and place filling between layers until all layers are used. Take out frosting(cool whip + coconut) and place on sides and top of layers. Sprinkle remaining coconut on top of cake.(you may also out extra coconut on sides if desired)
    Cover and place in refrigerator.
    **Note cake is better if made 2 days ahead if possible.

    I’ve watched dozens of coconut cake videos. Yours is unique. I hope I can try, but... 1) I’ve never seen the frozen coconut 2) I will not use fake food Cool Whip 3) this house came with an electric oven and every cake gets browned on top within minutes! Ha Ha! You are charming and I appreciate the extra tips, like I’m learning from a friend! Baking 4 thin cake layers instead of trying to cut a layer in half is genius!!

    My best friend made for me.. Sour Cream & Sugar mixed together, and we dipped fresh Strawberries 🍓 in it…. She wanted me to guess what it was 🤷‍♀️ Wow, I would have never guessed. It was amazing!! When I heard Alexa’s alarm, I couldn’t figure out what “my” Alexa was trying to tell me 🤣. I absolutely LOVE Coconut too… can’t wait to try this.

      @southernthings114  Před 2 lety

      Awww! So glad to hear that! Thx for watching…ck out some of my other desserts on channel! Just be aware if u make 2 layers they r not able to ‘soak up’ as much of that luscious filling as easily but u can easily slice those 2 into 4!(they dont have to b perfectly even as u will never know once cool whip icing is applied! If still prefer 2 layers, the longer it sits the better will become…maybe just poke some holes in the layers to help filling penetrate. Wish u the best!!

    Well, Crow! How fortuitous to come by this channel out of the blue. My daughter-in-law's B-day is coming up and she loves coconut! I'm going to try this cake! Thanks for being here in my time of need! LOL I guess I never thought of using 4 pans. I always just used dental floss to cut the layers. I've even cut two layers into 10 when I made a cake called Sacher Torte. Chocolate upon chocolate. Almost too rich to eat, but we forced ourselves! haha!

    • @southernthings114

      Yes it is just canned coconut milk from grocery store…big lots also carries this in their baking isle. It isn’t mandatory to use in the cake mix as u can just follow the box cake mix directions. I just prefer the richness it lends to the mix flavor. The mexican cream of coconut sounds like it would work!

      So sorry…this was one of my first video and there is a bit of a learning curve when u r the only one doing video & camera! Hope things improve as i go along and will do my best to focus camera more on work. Thx for watching!

      Thx for ur comment! I did realize with my first couple videos u could not c the bowl but is a learning curve for sure! I don’t have a camera person either which makes more difficult to keep resetting. Thx for watching!

    Hmmm! It looks like you're more interested in your face being on camera than showing the cake. You were at 30 minutes before we saw the whole cake. Not a good video.

      So sorry u feel that way but it is not true at all! Much easier to position a camera if u have help but unfortunately i dont! I only did these videos with the intent of helping others…if u knew me u would know how hard it was for me to actually put myself on video. U have some wanting to see who is talking & others want to watch a bowl. It is difficult to find a happy medium and these were my very first attempts. Again sorry u didnt like it, but i wish the very best!
