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!!!!
My mama did that with the fresh coconuts when I was young. And then....it became available in the freezer section!! I did it one time and swore never again. So much work indeed! Mama made the seven minute icing too!
Oh what sweet memories, I am crying too, such a touching true story😘😘
Recipe for steam shrimp
Bless your beautiful Mama.....and bless you, Miss Marilyn
I don’t know how I’ll live without my parents and grandparents. The world is so cold and oppressive today. I can’t live without them. I was raised 50% or the time at my grandparents and she cooks everything from scratch. Lord I’ll never be able to say thank You enough for them. I just wish those years had gone by slower. This world is not the same one I grew up in. God bless you Marilyn.
There’s absolutely no way a cake like that could sit in my refrigerator for two or three days...no way! I’d be surprised if it make it to two days!!! Just saying! That’s a beautiful cake!
No doubt! I’d have to stand guard with a belt to keep everyone out of it, 😂
For real😂😂
@@amandakelley1665 & my Grand did!!
That cake wouldn't survive the day!!!
IKR 🤣 🤣 🤣
I know that you know this but indeed you will see your mother again and for eternity... and I bet she greets you when it's your time with a cake in hand...blessings to you and thank you for all of your recipes
Thank you for making a REAL coconut cake ! I cannot tell you how long I've been searching for a recipe like this 👍
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!
When I was a kid I would mow this lady’s yard on our street and in exchange she would bake my folks a coconut cake like this. I later developed the taste for coconut cake myself 😂. That was back around 1976-77 in north Texas. Thanks for the recipe and memories.
Wow! Great payment for mowing the lawn.
@@moand7862 you bet. I also would mow an old retired couple’s yard and eat lunch on the front porch with them as payment. They were poor folk just like the rest of us so I got a nice lunch and they got their yard mowed. Done a lot of that stuff growing up. Thanks for replying and have a blessed week.
@@popsxbox ❤ I'm guessing you're a very happy person. Money doesn't make us rich or happy. Connections, kindness and memories are where it's at.
@Angelique Collins you sound like a good hearted gal! A little kindness makes all the difference.
@@popsxbox my Mom lived in Plano, everything she baked was pure perfection. We all loved her coconut cake, she put pineapple between the layers and that just kicked the flavor up a notch. 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 miss her so much, I always wish for just one more day, and then another……
I have never seen a mixer like that! I love the open top design!
That mixer! Never saw one like that. I agree jsteele650!
Yes i was thinking the same ...love the open concept...
I searched collardvalleycooks.com but I could not find it. What name do I need to use in order to locate it on the web
I would love to have your recipe for the White Coconut Cake. Could you send me the information on how to order the cook books. I went to the site and there were several cookbooks and I didn’t know which one to order. Yes I love you mixer
It’s a Bosh
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. 💖
My grandma always made a fresh coconut cake for Christmas and there was nothing better than her coconut cake 😋
Love this recipe! My family's from the south and I haven't had a fresh coconut cake in decades! This is my brother's fav cake of all time! Up north here they think coconut cake is that dried coconut! My brother just had his 69th birthday and his cake was a dried coconut. So, I'm going to use your recipe to make him a belated fresh coconut cake.
BTW: I like the mixer you have.. Would you please tell me where you got it or the brand and model? Thanks for your Channel! God's Abundant Blessings to you!
I lost 30 pounds last year and just put on 10 watching this beautiful cake video. LOL! It looks gorgeous and I know it tasted delicious. I have cut back drastically on eating sweets but I may make a scaled down version (smaller baking pans and 2 layers) as a treat for Easter. I love your channel and your personality shines through. You are adorable. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙏🏽
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😊❤😊
That sounds awesome. I love pistachios, so I'm sure the cake would be tasty.
@@beverlyyarborough4496 thank you!😁🤙❤🤙😁
Coconut water is brilliant for hydrating.
My Mom’s Mom signature cake at Easter and Thanksgiving., That’s a Mighty Beautiful Cake 🍰
I’m 72 years old & I’ve never made a coconut cake! I will definitely try this one. Absolutely beautiful, I can just taste it! Humm humm hummm!
you have never made a coconut cake. worry not, one day will be your day
How are you doing today?
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.🎄❤️🎄
@Duane Holmes you can get the While Lily flour from wallmart, Amazon and also from this link www.u-buy.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/2021053/s/white-lily-all-purpose-flour-80-oz-2-pk
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.
YOUR DOING A BEAUTIFUL JOB; LOOKS SO GOOD, IAM GLADE YOU MENTION JESUS CHRIST...AMEN
Amen
K
Jesus Christ should be acknowledged regardless, y'all know it is not written in the bible Jesus was born December 25, right? It doesn't state anywhere in scripture when His birth was. He wants us to remember His memorial 1corinthians 11;23-30.
She cooks like my mother did. I watched my mother make it all look so easy. I too lost my mother recently and I have such beautiful memories of her cooking and baking. Love you mom.
Let's see how many people made their mouth watery? Thank you for sharing can't wait to try it.
And I eat my cake batter and that is what reminds me of my mama!!
And I don’t care what anyone thinks or say!!😂😇😂
This is a Wonderful “ Mama” recipe! Thanks for sharing!!!
Sending Holiday Blessings to you and yours!!!!!
DerestTammy,
Your Beloved Mother is smiling down on you from Heaven Above and loving the fact Your keeping those Tresureed Traditions And Family Recipes Alive, my Beloved Mother also suffered with Dementia, it was the worst thing I have ever gone through, she was my Angel on Earth, I miss her every day, and it has been 13 years but it's still so fresh I never left her alone in Hospital, Rehab Centers, I slept on floors, chairs, sofas, it made no difference, she was the best part of who I am , continued you Blessing my sweet Southern Lady.
It’s not just the cake....it’s the absolute love that you put inside it! (Your time and your patience) How heavenly! Many blessings. Jesus is our Savior!
Such an amazing piece cant be just a piece
How are you doing today?
I'm from Texas and Coconut Cake is really big here at Easter. So glad I found this recipe now. It looks so beautiful and like the real deal.
Wonderful!
I did a shortcut hack on one today too if you want to watch it. It is what mama did when she got old and didn't feel like cooking the cake from scratch.
@@CollardValleyCooks that’s the one I need. We have potluck coming up Sunday...❤️
My Mom did this as well. My Mom was an excellent cook and she taught me! She even said I was a better cook then her. God bless her! She passed in 2010 at the age of 68. Me Daddy who taught me how to grill and make preserves passed in 2000 at the age of 62. I miss them terribly! They walk with Jesus too! Bless y’all who have lost your parents and bless y’all who still have yours!
My Pastor's wife made a coconut cake like this for special church fellowship dinners. So yummy! Good memories.
you supposed to be a better cook than your mom of course
How are you doing today?
Thank God for Mama! And you're the sweetest little thing! I really appreciated you taking a moment to mention your precious Mother. I have a beautiful soul of a Mother too! Thank you both for giving us what has GOT to be the most moist, delicious looking and I bet tasting ( I haven't made it yet), Coconut Cake Recipe EVER! God Bless Y'all
Wow I was soo young when I saw my mom make this cake just a few times. She would take out of fridge just before serving and put cherries on the top. Thanks for the lesson.😋😘
Magnificent recipe! The first time I ever had a coconut cake that I loved was at my daughter's Vacation Bible School graduation. Your recipe is the closest one that I have found. The little grandmother who made the cake had to have made it 100's of times. Thank you so much for this recipe.
A friend's mom always made fresh coconut cake at Christmas and served it with fresh homemade ambrosia. ❤️❤️❤️
My mother-n-law use to put her coconut cake in a large pressure canner with red delicious apples around it and seal the lid. Then she would put it on her back covered porch out of the way for 1 to 2 weeks before Christmas. When she opened it up the smell of those apples would fill the room. OH MY SO YUMMMY!! YOURCAKE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE HETS. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES OF HER!!! LOVED THIS VIDEO !!!
Theirs nothing I find more enjoyable then watching someone make a cake It looks terrific
Merry Christmas, cake looks delicious your mother is smiling from heaven
Oh the memories. My mom made her transition when I was nine years old. But she always made a coconut cake for me every year for my birthday. I'm 68 years old and I can still taste it. She was the best cook in Alabama. I'm going to make this for the memories of my mom. Thanks for showing this.
To add to my mom baking cakes, she didn't have a mixer she beat every cake three hundred times by hand.
@@jeanetteberry1546 that's the best way!!
My dad passed almost a year ago now- he loved coconut cake. ❤️ I know he is up there with your mom just loving this!
What a beautiful cake, and I love the memories you shared.
Oh my goodness ❤️ I can’t wait to make this. Coconut cake was my Daddy’s favorite, my Big Mama used to make him a 6 layer cake and he loved it. Sadly my Daddy passed away when I was 6 but I remember him like it was yesterday. I bet your Mum was the sweetest lady and I know you miss her dearly. My Ma passed away decades ago when I was 25 but I see her every time I look in the mirror, I don’t have her beautiful face but I do have her eyes. I enjoy spending time with you and you make my day. Thank you for sharing 👏 Happy Easter ✝️ Stay safe healthy and happy ❤️👍👍
I love to watch you and I love to hear you talk! You are a sweetheart! Thanks for sharing your recipes and techniques!
Thank you so much!
With Covid and all, we haven’t had our regular family holidays and cookouts and I immediately had to hit this recipe. So much nostalgia, can’t wait to have my Aunt’s again!
I made this a few years ago. Instead of using water in my white cake mix, I used coconut cream instead. It was a hit! Loved it. Everyone did.🙂
Oh that looks so yummy. I have to make it. Thanks for not repeating yourself over and over. You get right to the point. I like that. I can taste it already. Bless your heart. My mother is also with our Sweet Jesus. That also fills my heart with joy. Blessings 🙌
What an incredibly delicious cake recipe! You are so generous to share this recipe with us. 🥰🥰🥰🥰☃️☃️☃️☃️🌲🌲🌲🌲🍰🍰🍰🍰
That's so beautiful that you're sharing your mom's recipe and keeping her memory alive. Bless her soul wherever she is right now. And thank you for sharing this recipe. I could feel the love while baking it
I know I just commented, but I had to comment again. You are clearly a lover of coconut cake to make this! So on point!
This got me hankerin for some and now I know what dessert I'm making for Christmas.
My Mom's signature cake was a Coconut Cake with lemon filling...
I would love your coconut cake with the lemon filling, if Miss Tammy wouldn't mind you sharing.
@@katheedenny1982 I would happily share but it's one of the many things that left this Earth with my Mom.... I've tried many times to duplicate it but I must not have her secret ingredient (I'm sure it was her love), mine just does not turn out the same...
Tammy, can I please come live with you? Your kitchen and cooking just says “home” even more than my own home ever did!
Yes! The same with my Mom!! If she didn’t have me prepare fresh coconut for her then she was use Tropical Isle coconut that’s in the freezer section. One or the other or there wasn’t a cake made.
Coconut cake with Lemon Filling so so tasty!!!
Your mums coconut cake looks so full of pure joy. thank you for sharing it with us all.
Absolutely beautiful! I truly appreciate the love of a mother! I too,did a lot of cooking with my mother as a young girl and miss her dearly. 💗🌹💗
Tammy, I loved the part when you stopped your cake baking just to say how important your mother was to you.... Your biggest fan, dana
Your Coconut cake looks just Hevenly and yummy MERRY CHRISTMAS GOD BLESS THANKS TO YOUR MUM
a beautiful work of art from a beautiful woman. thank you, ms. tammy. you made your mommy very proud. blessings to you and yours.
Thank you so much for sharing your family recipe. I think it’s amazing your sharing your mommas recipe, it lets everyone get a taste of her love and what she poured her life’s work into. I’m only 17 but I feel honored to get to learn your families traditions. God Bless you and your family! 😊
HOLLLLLY SMOOOKES! Oh my Goodness! This will come to the Granger's Christmas Dinner! I will save a lot of room for this deliciousness! Pour a cup of coffee and slice me a LARGE piece :)
Hope you enjoy
@@CollardValleyCooks When I get a notification that you've uploaded a new video I just break out in a smile! Merry Christmas
It seems you love to enjoy, thats the beautiful work of a good cook
How are you doing today?
Thankyou for this! Amazing , looks like a beautiful delicious cloud!
This was my daddy’s favorite cake. So i will make it in his memory every year at Christmas time. Thank you for sharing.
My mother died Nov 2021. She was a Christian, so I know where she is just as you know where your mother is now. I, too, have many recipes from "mother's kitchen". She also had dementia and died when she was 91 years old. What a blessing to have a Godly mother! Thank you for reminding me of my mother's coconut cake. You have a delightful show!
Looks wonderful. Thank you for sharing recipe and memories.
My grandmother made one with 7-minute icing and sweetened coconut. I've never seen the coconut done wet like that.
I have to say I’ve never seen it done wet either. I bet it’s good though. Hi I’m Darlene from Souper at 60. I’d love to have you join me in my kitchen sometime. Lord bless ❤️🇺🇸
I've gotta make this for Easter! I'm a coconut fanatic! Lol! 🙃🤪👍😊💗
I’ve enjoyed watching this! I’m sorry about the loss of your mother. What precious memories you have of her. Some of us are fortunate to have been raised with wonderful mothers. I enjoyed your testimony! God bless you!
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.
Catherine google c VC sponge cake and you will see my mama in her last year but on a good day give me her blue ribbon recipe! Send me an email so I can see what you think. Sounds like we have something in common. Collardvalleycook@gmail.com

Tammy, we do. My maiden name is Nichols!
One of my favorites, never seen one as delicious as that one looked! I was dreaming of biting into a piece...lol.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories of your sweet mama. I feel as though we know her. The cake looks delicious!!
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!
I am so happy White Lily flour is sponsoring you! You always use it and should get credit for it. I have to order it online because my Walmart grocery doesn’t carry it. I love coconut cake, unfortunately no one else in my family does so I rarely eat it. Your cake looks lovely! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family!
I grew up with White Lily flour.
Yum-Yummy! Ooooh-wee o’boy that cakes looks delicious 😋 🤤!
You got me missing my grandmama so much! Her cake looked like this. She used fresh coconut...it was and still is the BEST coconut ever!😊💓
You honor your mother in a very beautiful way. And she knows!
Tammy, I'm all about coconut cakes, mmmm!🤤 🥥Edit: I came here from your "Mama's coconut cake hack" video. I've made coconut cake ONCE, from Ina Garten's the barefoot contessa cookbook. It was so good, I ate most of the leftovers (which I froze). It was a birthday cake, for my mom and included a cream cheese icing, which I added coconut extract to. That being said, I like your recipe much better. It #takesthecake, pun intended.😄 You have great recipes! No wonder you made cookbooks, that I'll have to purchase. You're "the ma'am", ma'am.😂🤣👏👍
Merry Christmas, Tammy and family! This reminds me of my mama making hers each year! She always used fresh grated coconut...do not think frozen coconut was available yet. Poor mama......one year our coconut must have been a bit rancid....the cake tasted like soap!🤣🤪. You remember those things, she made these, homemade German Chocolate cakes and her delicious Orange Blossoms we all loved. Also Mexican wedding cakes, applesauce cake, peanut butter cookies....on the list goes on!
Merry Christmas again! Love to all.🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻
what happens on this channel is one of the most intresting things i have seen so far
How are you doing today?
Your Mama's in heaven making the cakes for the wedding supper!! Can't wait!!! They're going to be delicious!! And what a time we will have!!!
Thank you for sharing. My son will probably love this. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND AS ALWAYS I AM SENDING LOTS OF LOVE💞
That just has to be the most delicious cake ever woo do I love coconut cake and the way you made it so moist that's my favorite 😋
That is a master recipe. Thanks so much. I've been waiting for this one.
👏🏼🥰Love ya so much, sis! Feel like we're fam, love these old time recipes!!👏🏼💗✌🏼
My grandmother always made one of these at Christmas. After she passed my Mom made sure to keep that tradition.
Miss Drucilla Rogers made this every Christmas and is the only coconut cake that should even be considered as coconut cake. The only way I can eat coconut cake. Nice to finally see how she did it. Last time I had that cake was 40 years ago. This made me tear up a tad.
I Could have this cake all day and wont be tired at all
How are you doing today?
Brings back memories my favorite cake Merry Christmas
I can not tell you how many times I’ve watched all your videos on this cake!!! That tells you just how much I LOVE coconut cake!!!! ♥️😋😋
I am an 83year old disabled veteran. When everybody left house they came home to a cake i baked. I found some white lily flour at our neighborhood grocery. (hows that for destiney?) Our chidren wanted to dive in when they returned home. I threatend them and when Mama arrived home she thought I purchased it and brought it home. I am not one to exaggerate so it was a great recipe to learn and hold on to it for spedial occasions in the futurel. These Collard Valley ladies know what there doing with their cooking with eight inch rounds.Yummmm!
What a great story!
What I would give to have a piece of that cake!! It looks Devine! Thanks for a great recipe!! ❣️🎄🎁🎅🏻🤶🏻❣️
Definitely some one cant be eating such cakes around me am definitely gonna take a bit
How are you doing today?
That is amazing good cake its my favorite.
I’m so glad to get your recipe for the white layers! I looked at that completed cake and my mouth just watered and I swear I could just taste that good fresh Coconut cake! Coconut cake is my favorite! I want to get your Recipe Book too.
I'm originally from Rome, Georgia...this is exactly the kind of cake we use to have at Christmas when I was growing up! Thank you for sharing the way your mama made it. I didn't have the recipe for the coconut cake so I've always made a Red Velvet Cake for my family at Christmas but I'm going to give your recipe a try this year.
Thanks again!
Yum, my momma always made it like this too! She made one for Easter too!
Tammy, that cake looks so delicious and pretty that I almost cried. Great recipe. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Funny how good can bring about such emotion. It immediately reminded me of my dad. Miss him. Hi I’m Darlene from Souper at 60. I’d love to have you join me in my kitchen sometime. Lord bless ❤️🇺🇸
Oh my!!! That slice of cake looks like a heavenly cloud!!!
Beautiful cake. I can almost smell and taste it remembering ones I've had in the past.
Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories!
Mom would play her vinyls when she was cooking. Think of Dean Martin singing the "Thanks for the memories" song in his low, warm, husky, whisky mellowed voice.
Mom's coconut cakes were made from fresh coconuts and coconut milk. When I was slightly older my task was to carefully shred the coconut on her 4 sided tin grater. She only made those a few times a year when I was little. One time was Easter. I seem to remember her pouring the milk from the coconuts directly onto each layer of cake. She made two thick layers, which she then split in half by cinching them up with a string. I was always facinated when she did some neat trick like that.
Fabulousness overload! Love how you keep the memories of your momma alive with her recipes❤️ I just found your channel and I love your vlogs. Thanks for sharing this great cake recipe to us❤️
Yummy, what a masterpiece!!
What a great video!! Thank you for sharing your stories about your mom! So sweet
I love to watch her make a cake. So ready to try this out for myself. Thank you so much!!
Your house must smell delicious all the time!
I noticed when I'm baking a lot during the holidays my house tends to smell of eggs baked eggs.
Exactly it does smell delicious because you cooked something delicious

This cake takes me back many, many years to Mamas kitchen. She always made two of these cakes plus several other different ones at Christmas and at least eight pies. I miss being in the kitchen with her cooking so many good meals.🍑
Wow Dianne. She sounds like a wonderful baker. Do you take after her? Hi I’m Darlene from Souper at 60. I’d love to have you join me in my kitchen sometime. Lord bless 🇺🇸☺️
Thanks for putting the recipe in the description box. I wish all the food channels can do that.
I absolutely love coconut cake . What a wonderful tribute to your mama ♥️
everyone loves coconut cake so Its not about that.

its beautiful to look and also eat

I can watch you ice a cake all day. Thank you for sharing your talents and stories. Merry Christmas 🎄
I make a coconut cake every Christmas too because it's a tradition, My Mother baked from home, Christmas was busy and I had to wash a lot of dishes. Fruitcake (I've made that already), Jam Cakes with Caramel icing. Many coconut. My Dad would crack open the real coconuts and drain them, then peel and grated.. We use the 7 minute icing. It was a production. I love this memory.
Every kind of cake we make has a reason and a symbol of love, sharing, and beauty
