Basic Baker's Coconut Cake, Moist Cake with Cream of Coconut Icing
DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking?
When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook. My mama was also a fantastic cook, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen. We all gathered around the table when we went to her house. I have made it easy for you to learn how to cook like my granny and mama did with cooking tutorials for every recipe in our cookbooks. You can see how to order these by visiting us on our website. Oh, and no difficult-to-find or crazy ingredients! Just simple ingredients and delicious food. I am a Southern girl born and raised in Collard Valley in Polk County, Georgia. We went to church on Sunday, school during the week, and the grocery store on Friday, and that was our life: no vacations, no camping, just plain old southern country people.
If you learn to cook like my mama and granny, you will become one of the best Southern cooks. Thank you so much for being a part of this dream of mine.
NOW FOR THIS FAMILY RECIPE:
Buttercream Icing
2 STICKS SALTED BUTTER (ROOM TEMP.)
4 1/2 CUPS POWDERED SUGAR
2 TSP. VANILLA
DASH OF SALT
1 1/2 TBSP. CREAM (EVAPORATED MILK)
In a stand mixer’s mixing bowl add butter and mix with whisk attachment on high speed until white and fluffy. Slowly add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Add cream and vanilla. Finish adding powdered sugar. Add a dash of salt.
Coconut Buttercream:
Omit 1/2 stick of butter in the buttercream recipe above. Open can of cream of coconut and pour into a separate bowl. Mix the hard layer of grease on top into the liquid well. Then add 1/2 cup of cream of coconut to the icing. Icing will be thin for using on my fresh coconut cake. If you want to use it to ice a different cake, add powdered sugar to reach the desired icing consistency.

    Back in the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother used to make cakes from scratch. I remember her coconut cakes were a thing of beauty! Thanks for the memories. 😊

    That looks delish! My Mom had dementia as well. She lived about 8-9 years after we first noticed something was off. She was an awesome cook too. It is sad to watch someone you love disappear little by little. It is like losing them twice. Keep doing these awesome video's and sharing your secrets!

    My grandmother was from Tennessee and I lived with her when I was a child in the 1950s. She baked a lot of pies, but I only remember her making a cake once a year on my birthday. It was always a coconut cake, made pretty much the way you do, except just butter, no coconut cream in the icing. She always made more icing than she needed, then took the rest of the icing, mixed it with coconut, and rolled it little balls for treats. She always used Baker’s coconut too. This video brings back such memories. I need to try making one myself.

    Baker's coconut is absolutely the best to buy.. Our walmart sells Lopez cream of coconut in the row near soda with drink mixer things..This cake looks so very tasty!

    My momma made the prettiest coconut cakes. They looked like a big snowball. She used seven minute frosting and put coconut on top and sides. It was so delicious. She passed in 2009 and I haven't got the nerve up to try and make it.😊
