Does anyone have a delicious coconut cake recipe? Or one they have tried and didn't like so I know what to avoid? lol.
I'm up for scratch or doctored box.. as i'm a fan of both types of cakes =)
Thank you!
This is my "go to" recipe for white or coconut cake. It's from Pillsbury's Complete Book of Baking (a terrific book, by the way!). It's easy to make and gets rave reviews:
Simply White Cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup shortening (I use unsalted butter)
1 tsp. vanilla
5 egg whites
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 2 round 9" pans. In a large bowl, blend flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk and shortening at low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add vanilla and egg whites; continue beating an additional 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake at 350 for 27 to 35 minutes. Toothpick test. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
Coconut Cake: Stir 1 cup flaked coconut into batter before pouring into prepared pans.
YES! Coconut cake is my fave so I have tried many. Paula Dean's recipe is my favorite and everyone that I've made it for loves it! I left out the coconut milk, it is not necessary. Great cake! check out the reviews

I used your recipe.. and it got me a wedding order!!
Thank you =)
Maybe I will try that one too. I am not a fan of the Paula Deen recipe.....tried that one before. Usually I just use my favorite white cake recipe and add coconut cream and shredded coconut.
I will try this though. Thanks!
DH and I love coconut cake more than anything.
Yumm.......it's my favorite!
I tried this one on the recommendation of at least one other CCer and found that
it is a truly delicious cake!

This is the coconut recipe that I use. It's very delicious!
The recipe that I used seems to be a modification of the epicurious recipe 
I used it because it seemed to tweak a bit of the things users complained about on the epicurious one. I may have to try that one as well! I have read that a lot of people use it as their standard white one due to the very subtle coconut taste.
I hope this can help you

I am glad you like it, I try a lot of coconut recipes before and I never got the taste that I like, then I decide to make my own and I loooooove it
What is the coconut cream that the recipe is asking for? Thanks!
Coconut cream is very similar to coconut milk but contains less water. The difference is mainly consistency. It has a thicker, more paste-like consistency, while coconut milk is generally a liquid. It is used as an ingredient in cooking.
Coconut cream can be made by simmering 1 part shredded coconut with one part water or milk until frothy, then straining the mixture through a cheesecloth, squeezing out as much liquid as possible; this is coconut milk. The coconut milk is refrigerated and allowed to set. Coconut cream is the thick non-liquid part that separates and rises to the top of the coconut milk.
Coconut cream has a mild non sweet taste.
Can be any brand

Thanks for responding so fast. I know exactly what you are talking about. Would you suggest the canned stuff over the homemade cream? I actually have some of the canned in my pantry...go figure
The canned cream of coconut will be perfect, let me tell you a secret I always use the canned one 
, I use the cocolopez or the goya brand but any kind it is ok

This one of the best coconut cake I have ever baked! I used cake flour and the smaller can of Coco Lopez. Just made that cake last night for a Pina Colada cake.
Hi there - I tried to find your coconut cake recipe, and it is not on the site anymore. Is there any way that you can pass it along to me? I would really appreciate it! Thanks.
