Worlds Best Coconut Cake Recipe

Here is the recipe for what I truly believe is the worlds best coconut cake. Now I love coconut but this cake is just simply wonderful and if you can make it and leave it alone in the refrigerator for three days with out cutting it you will be rewarded with the best flavored coconut cake you will ever eat. And that's saying a lot about a coconut cake but this cake is just that good.

Sour Cream Coconut Cake Recipe

1. 2 Cups of Sour Cream

2. 2 Cups Granulated Sugar

3. 16 Ounces Frozen Coconut Thawed

4. 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix

5. 2 Cups of Cool Whip Topping

You will want to make your yellow cake mix cake by the package directions on the back of the cake box and bake in two 9 inch cake pans. Once your cake layers are cool you will want to split your layers in half so you end up with four cake layers.

Mix your sour cream , cool whip and 2/3 of the coconut in a large bowl and mix well. Once you have it mixed well you want to spread a layer of the mixed topping between each cake layer and then using a knife or spatula spread the remaining mixed topping all over the outside of your cake being sure to cover all your cake well. Now you have a decision to make. 

You can take your hands and apply the remaining coconut you have all over the outside of your cake or you can toast it in the oven and then apply it. My family likes it both ways so I make it both ways from time to time. If you choose the toasted method it does change the flavor of the cake a bit. When you toast your coconut you only want it to brown slightly not burn.

The finished cake is beautiful if you toast the coconut or not. Now comes the really hard part. And be prepared to guard the refrigerator. You want to cover your cake and place it in the refrigerator for three days before you cut it.

If you make the cake please post a comment below and let us know how it turned out for you. Also be sure to check out my other recipes below.

COCONUT BISCUTE RESIPE

Wow!!! It had a sumblime taste- just excellent!!! one tip is that the frosting is a bit runny, so what I did was apply the runny frosting in the layers so it could soak in, But to the remaining frosting, I added a thickener for the outside coat. What I did was put 1 cup milk with 4 tablespoons of flour over the stovetop on low heat until the consistancy was like mashed potatoes. Then I let it cool and I beat it in with the runny frosting. It did nothing to the taste, so I reccommend doing that change. Overall, I loved the cake. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I LOVE THIS CAKE! It was easy to follow and easy to make AND it tastes GREAT!!!

IF the frosting is runny.....try putting it in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes before frosting your cake; thickens it right up and allows the sugar a few extra minutes to dissolve into the ingredients!!

Hi... I was very excited to find a recipe for the world's best coconut cake, because I love coconut more than even chocolate! But I don't understand this recipe, what on earth is yellow cake mix???!!! Where are the eggs? And the flour etc?

Yellow Cake Mix is Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix. I say there in the directions to make the cake by the direction on the box. That is where you will find the eggs. And yes making it with a cake mix I still say it is the best Coconut Cake in the world. You won't find a better coconut cake.
