Homemade Coconut Cake
This homemade triple-layer coconut cake recipe with cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut is the ultimate go-to cake dessert. You won’t believe how moist and flavorful this cake is.
Coconut cake is a classic Southern cake consisting of layers of coconut-flavored white sponge cake coated in cream cheese frosting and then covered in coconut flakes or shreds. The recipe for coconut cake was first recorded in the Mineral Point Tribune in 1869 as “cocoanut cake.” The early version of the recipe also used meringue as the icing but has since moved onto the more common cream cheese buttercream.
This cake is incredibly moist and has just the right coconut flavor. Coconut cake is great to serve up during the summer months as the coconut flavor evokes a tropical feel. I prefer to serve this cake at room temperature so that the frosting is soft, which will immensely complement the flavors of the cake layers.
