Coconut Cake Video Tutorial
This recipe sets the bar for homemade cakes everywhere. It’s simply exquisite and is sure to be one of your favorite spring dessert recipes and Easter brunch recipes. Talk about a show stopper!
How to Make Coconut Cake
I adapted this recipe from my favorite white cake. Its pristine crumb, fluffy texture, and stick-to-your-fork moisture guarantee cake success. In fact, I have the recipe memorized and even used it as the base of pistachio cake, cookies & cream cake, espresso cake, burnt sugar caramel cake, and strawberry cake. The recipe is cake gold and I knew it would be the perfect starting point for a fluffy and moist coconut cake.
Your coconut cake journey begins with two mixing bowls. Dry ingredients in one and wet ingredients in another (see full recipe instructions below). Combine the two in your mixer, along with coconut milk and sweetened shredded/flaked coconut. That’s it! Your coconut cake batter is ready to bake.
Creamed butter and sugar provide a solid base for this cake recipe. Use room temperature butter, and remember that room temperature is cooler than you think.
Another tip: Use all room temperature ingredients, including the eggs and sour cream. Why? Ingredients bond together very easily when they’re warmer, which creates an evenly textured baked good. Cold ingredients do not emulsify together. Period.
Use These 6 Power Ingredients
Cake is literally nothing without its ingredients and these power players are the difference between dense dry cake and light moist cake.
- Cake Flour: Cake flour produces the softest cake. If you don’t usually buy cake flour, make the exception here. It’s sold in the baking aisle with the other flours. You can use leftovers in any of these cake flour recipes. If you can’t find it, try making this cake flour substitute.
- Egg Whites: Egg yolks are wonderful for moisture, but they’re heavy and weigh down cakes. We use whole eggs in my coconut Easter cake which is much more dense, like a pound cake. To keep this coconut cake light and fluffy, use only egg whites. We’ll add the moisture back in with sour cream.
- Sour Cream: The moist maker! This cake melts in your mouth.
- Coconut Extract: I tested this recipe with and without coconut extract. We loved it both ways, but coconut extract is necessary for best coconut flavor. It’s in the baking aisle near the vanilla extract.
- Canned Coconut Milk: Canned coconut milk is a cooking ingredient, not a beverage. It’s creamier and thicker than regular milk and usually found near the Thai food products. Do not use the refrigerated coconut milk beverage that comes in a carton, because the two are very different.
- Sweetened Shredded Coconut: I recommend using sweetened shredded coconut, also called sweetened flaked coconut. It’s moister than unsweetened coconut and that makes a big difference in the cake’s texture. I reduced the added sugar in the cake batter to make up for the sweetness. Sweetened coconut is sometimes sold as long skinny shreds, a size some find off-putting in cake. Therefore, I recommend pulsing them in a food processor so they’re smaller.
Coconut Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
What do you love about vanilla buttercream? It’s buttery, sweet, and smooth.
And what about cream cheese frosting? It’s creamy, silky, and tangy.
Let’s combine the two, then add coconut milk and coconut extract. It’s even creamier and silkier than the coconut frosting on these coconut chocolate Easter cupcakes so that glides onto the cake seamlessly. (Which is a happy bonus because decorating a layer cake can be quite the task. See more below.)
If you prefer a non-cream cheese option, use my vanilla buttercream instead—use canned coconut milk instead of milk and add 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract.
How to Frost a Layer Cake
Alright, let’s do this.
- Cool cakes completely. Sounds obvious, but even the tiniest bit of warmth will melt the frosting. As a result, the layer cake will slip, slide, or even cave in!
- If your cakes have a dome on top, level them off with a cake leveler or serrated knife. Flat-topped cakes ensure a straight and sturdy layer cake.
- Choose a serving plate or cake stand. Here is the cake stand I use in these pictures!
- Place the bottom layer on the cake stand. Using an icing spatula, spread 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting in an even layer on top. Bring the frosting just over the edge of the cake; this will be helpful when it’s time to frost the sides.
- Place the second layer top-side-down on top. Make sure it aligns with the bottom cake layer.
- Spread 1 and 1/2 cups frosting evenly on top, just as you did with the bottom layer.
- Place third layer top-side-up on top. Again, make sure it’s perfectly aligned.
- Divide the remaining frosting in half. (Just eyeball it.) Dollop half of the frosting on top of the cake and use an icing spatula to smooth it to the edges. Apply *some* of the remaining frosting all around the sides of the cake, then use a bench scraper to smooth it in a thin layer. Apply the rest of the frosting on the sides of the cake, then bench scrape to smooth it all out.
- Wipe any excess frosting off of the cake stand.
You can watch me decorate this coconut cake in the video tutorial above. Don’t stress; if you take your time and make sure the cake layers are totally straight, you’re all set.
But I Don’t Want to
Skip the drama and make a coconut sheet cake instead! Sheet cakes are easier to frost because they’re only one layer. See my recipe note about different size coconut cakes.
What About the Buttercream Roses?
Let’s give my assistant, Stephanie, a round of applause. This was her first time making “3D” buttercream roses and look how beautifully they turned out! She made the buttercream roses at my house and I froze them until it was time to decorate the coconut cake. She followed this video tutorial. Keep in mind that the cream cheese buttercream WILL NOT work for the intricate buttercream roses. Instead, use my vanilla buttercream and add 1 extra cup of confectioners’ sugar. You need very stiff buttercream for these roses. You also need small squares of parchment paper and:
Loosely cover the roses, then freeze or refrigerate them until ready to decorate, up to 1 week. No need to thaw prior to decorating the cake. Peel off parchment square and place the buttercream rose on the cake. If you’re traveling with the cake, I recommend securing the roses with a tiny dollop of cream cheese buttercream underneath.

Description
This perfect coconut cake sets the bar for homemade cakes everywhere. It’s supremely moist with a soft fluffy crumb and intense coconut flavor. For success, follow this recipe carefully including using cake flour, egg whites, sour cream, and canned coconut milk.
Ingredients
- 2 and 1/2 cups (285g) cake flour (spooned & leveled)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (12 Tbsp; 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 and 2/3 cups (330g) granulated sugar
- 5 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened canned coconut milk, at room temperature*
- 1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut
Coconut Cream Cheese Buttercream
- 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 8 ounces (226g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature*
- 5 cups (600g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 Tablespoons (30ml) canned coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (160g) sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease three 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper rounds, then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans. (If it’s helpful, see this parchment paper rounds for cakes video & post.)
- Make the cake: Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the egg whites until combined, then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Beat until combined. Mixture will look curdled as a result of the varying textures and solid butter combining. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients and coconut milk. Beat on low speed until combined, then add the shredded coconut. Whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no butter lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Weigh them to ensure accuracy, if desired. Bake for 21–23 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
- Make the frosting: In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, coconut milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and salt with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 minutes. Add more confectioners’ sugar if frosting is too thin, more coconut milk if frosting is too thick, or an extra pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet.
- Assemble and decorate: Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with second cake layer and evenly cover the top with about 1 and 1/2 cups of frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I use and recommend an icing spatula to apply the frosting and a bench scraper to smooth the sides. Sprinkle coconut on top of the cake and apply it to the sides. This can get a little messy and you can watch me do it in the video tutorial. See blog post above about buttercream rose decoration.
- Refrigerate cake for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting, though it’s still a pretty fluffy cake!
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: The cake layers can be baked, cooled, and covered tightly at room temperature overnight. Likewise, the frosting can be prepared, then covered and refrigerated overnight. When ready to decorate, let the frosting sit at room temperature to slightly soften for about 15 minutes, then give it one more mix with the mixer on medium speed for about 1 minute before frosting cake. Frosted cake or unfrosted cake layers can be frozen for up to 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before decorating/serving.
- Special Tools (affiliate links): 9-Inch Cake Pans | Electric Mixer (Handheld or Stand Mixer) | Glass Mixing Bowls | Whisk | Cake Stand or Cake Turntable | Icing Spatula | Bench Scraper | Cake Carrier (for storing)
- Cake Flour: For the best results, I strongly recommend cake flour. You can find cake flour in the baking aisle and I have many more recipes using it. If you can’t find it, try making this cake flour substitute.
- Egg Whites: Egg whites (no yolks) are KEY to the cake’s fluffy texture. For best success, I recommend using fresh eggs instead of carton egg whites. (Using an egg separator is really handy!) Here are all my recipes using leftover egg yolks. Success tip: Eggs separate much easier when they’re cold.
- Canned Coconut Milk: Canned coconut milk is a cooking ingredient, not a beverage. It is usually unsweetened, so make sure you’re using unsweetened. It’s usually found in the grocery store near the Thai food products. Do not use refrigerated carton coconut milk beverage. You need 1 cup for the cake, not the entire can. You use 2 more Tablespoons in the frosting.
- Sweetened Shredded Coconut: I recommend using sweetened shredded/flaked coconut. It’s moister than unsweetened coconut and that makes a big difference in the cake’s texture. If desired, pulse the coconut shreds in a food processor to chop them up so they aren’t as long inside and outside of the cake. Chopping the coconut is optional.
- Cream Cheese: Use brick cream cheese, not cream cheese spread. If desired, you can use this vanilla buttercream instead (no cream cheese). Use canned coconut milk instead of milk and add 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract.
- 9×13-Inch Sheet Cake: Simply pour the batter into a greased and lightly floured 9×13-inch pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 2-Layer Cake: Prepare two 9-inch cake pans in step 1. Divide batter between pans and bake for 24–26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Bundt Cake: This cake batter will fit into a greased 10-cup or larger Bundt pan. I’m unsure of the exact bake time (likely around an hour); use a toothpick to test for doneness. Same oven temperature.
- Cupcakes: Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 19–21 minutes. Yields about 2–3 dozen. Or try my vanilla cupcakes recipe and substitute canned coconut milk for whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract for the vanilla bean, and add 3/4 cup (60g) of sweetened shredded coconut.
- Why is everything at room temperature? All refrigerated items should be at room temperature so the batter mixes together easily and evenly. Read more about the importance of room temperature ingredients.
Hi Sally, in want to make this tommorow, can I use mascarpone in the buttercream?
You can substitute mascarpone for the cream cheese, yes.
Thank goodness I have finally found the perfect coconut cake recipe. The fact that it includes so much useful information about ingredients and baking techniques and more recipes on sally’s website is a huge bonus. Thank you Sally for all your work.
My first review and my first coconut cake. I googled “best coconut cake recipe” and found this! Made it for my daughter’s birthday – it was truly amazing, even the non-coconut people loved it! Can’t wait to try your Strawberry version soon!
The cake was beautiful, fluffy and so tasty. I used pieces of pretzel to decorate the top. The salt and crunch added another dimension of yum.
Hello again:)!
I would like to make this cake for my son’s birthday. I have a store question. Because it has cream cheese in the frosting, I assume I need to refrigerate the cake if I bake it and frost it the night before? I like to bake my cakes the night before (so I can take my time and not feel rushed) and not feel rush when decorating it. Thank you!
Great recipe, made this two times now and cannot fault it at all. Moist and tasty. Love it.
Outstanding coconut cake recipe and just as Sally describes. Flavorful and moist. Don’t change a thing when you go to make it!
Hi, made this last Thursday for my partner’s birthday. We love it, will definitely be making this again and will definitely be taking your other recipes for a test drive
I followed the directions (I thought) to a T, even highlighting the recipe as I proceeded. The cake was absolutely gorgeous! Apparently my cakes had not completely cooled down as I thought they had. When I set the cake on the counter to make room in the refrigerator, it was like watching a slow motion avalanche as the layers slid apart and the cake split into multiple sections. I was crushed that all my work went to waste. Next time I will let the cakes sit overnight before frosting them. I’m only posting this in case it would help someone else in the future to understand how important completely cooled cakes are.
Darci Hartmann, I have had that happen too, even while my cakes were cooling – before I even put icing on them. I don’t know why they just split in half or more. So disappointing! Not sure why this happens sometimes and other times not.
I made this cake today because I saw the recipe and I knew it would be amazing. It turned out great! I think this is the best coconut cake I have ever had! My wife and kids loved it and came back for more! Mine doesn’t look as great as yours, but I will practice my frosting technique. Thank you for the great recipe, and also for your fantastic baking tips! Your tips and advice are as awesome as this recipe! I’m so glad I found your website. Thank you!
Hi Sally!
I’m planning to make this cake for a birthday party later this week. Quick question: since I plan to make three 8″ layers, do I need to make extra frosting to have enough for the extra layer? And I also want to confirm that baking time should be about the same as for two 9″ layers. Thank you!
Hi Missy, This recipe is written for three 9-inch layers so you will have the correct amount of frosting as written! The bake time will about the same for 8 inch pans, but use a toothpick to test for doneness.
Thanks, Sally! I somehow missed that and was thinking the recipe was designed for a two-layer cake. Looking forward to making it for my mother-in-law’s 91st birthday party!
Hi Sally,
I’m looking for some healthy alternatives to white cake flour. Is it possible to use coconut flour instead? Not sure if it might require whole eggs…
I also have whole wheat or almond flour….though almond flour may require whole eggs for binding as well.
Hi Natalie, For the best taste and texture I recommend sticking to cake flour here. Other types would be way to heavy for this cake.
I want to use this batter to make three 8-inch round cakes for a birthday cake tomorrow; I plan on using any remaining batter for cupcakes. I’m thinking I should fill the pans about 2/3 full, then use the excess for cupcakes? Does that sound correct? And then how long do you think I should bake the cakes for, and how long for the cupcakes? Thanks in advance!
Hi Erin, This cake works as written for three 8 or 9 inch cakes with no changes necessary! Bake time and temperature will remain the same. Enjoy!
I am planning on baking this cake as a tray bake for a friend’s wedding. I am glad I found this on the website because she wanted it to be only coconut with no other extract or flavour. As a tray bake to feed a hundred plus people, what would you suggest? I am planning on getting a bigger tray or 2 . Thanks
This cake fits into a single layer 9×13 inch rectangular pan, see the recipe notes for instructions. For different size pans you can use my Cake Pan Sizes and Conversations post to help you scale the recipe.
Hi Sally,
I am going to make this recipe for my son’s birthday, but because of an intolerance in our house I was thinking of making a meringue frosting instead of the cream cheese frosting. Do you think that would be a suitable accompaniment for this cake? Obviously I won’t be piping it into roses, I’m just going to do swirls.
Hi Molly, Yes you can use any frosting you wish for this cake! If you use my Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipe I give options to use flavors such as coconut extract if you wish to have a flavored frosting – and it does pipe beautifully!
This is an outstanding coconut cake. Thank you for the great directions and recipe, Sally. I tried a terrible recipe before using yours. I’ll never need another one again!
Incredibly delicious! I took it to my church potluck and it was devoured. Not a slice left to take home. Thanks Sally for such a wonderful recipe, this one is going in my recipe book as a keeper. Can’t wait to make it again!
Hi sally !
I’m wanting to make this beautiful cake but I’m wondering if there’s any way I can alter the frosting to omit the cream cheese? I know I’m crazy lol
Hi Sierra, You can increase the butter to 1.5 cups and omit the cream cheese. Enjoy!
Hi Sally! I just want to thank you for such a well-written recipe. I did make it just as directed and it came out great. I was thankful that there are separate instructions for the sheet cake as I did not have a 3rd round pan. Everyone loved it! I also appreciated you saying things like “this will look like it’s not blended”, etc., because when you don’t bake often and something doesn’t look right, you try to fix it and end up making mistakes. The only thing I can think of to make this better would be exact mixing times for the most popular mixers. On my mixer it has numbers 2 4 6 8 10 – so I guess medium high is 8? Also, I did wonder why we aren’t mixing the egg whites more – again – I don’t make cakes often and was thinking about how you whip the whites until foamy for nice waffles – I know waffles are different than cake – but I toyed with the idea of whipping it more. Thank you again. I had the confidence to try it because it was such a detailed recipe!
I made this Coconut cake for friend of mines (first time ever making a coconut cake) And the cake came out perfect it is so beautiful ! Thank you so much
Hi Sally,
This cake looks amazing and I can’t wait to try the recipe out this weekend!
Sally, I only have 8” baking rounds. If I divide the batter for this recipe into (THREE) 8” rounds, do you know what the bake time would be?
And just curious. For the frosting why use cream cheese bars instead no of spreadable cream cheese? Thank you!! 🙂
Hi Cheryl! The baking time will be similar, perhaps a couple minutes longer. Spreadable cream cheese is too thin to yield a proper frosting. You need real cream cheese in block form.
I want to make this for my daughters birthday, but she wants a pink cake (icing), I’m afraid that the white coconut would just cover the icing that I taint with pink food coloring. Is there a way to make the coconut pink? Or even better, can I put pink food coloring in the batter too?
Hi Janessa, You can certainly add food coloring to both the cake batter and the frosting (I recommend gel food coloring). You can even tint the shredded coconut pink if you wish! It’s very easy to do! Here Wilton show’s you how: https://www.wilton.com/tinting-shredded-coconut/WLTECH-252.html
I’m in the process of making this cake for a friend’s birthday (she LOVES coconut cake). All I had to do was taste the batter to know it’s going to be amazing!! I have one tip that will keep you from having to cut off any rounded cake tops: you can either purchase cake pan strips (I think from Wilton?) or be el cheapo like me and make them yourself. If you put moistened strips around the outside edges of the pans, the cakes rise evenly. Works like a charm.
Don’t you love it when someone makes your recipe and says, “hey I made your cake….but….”? But actually, that’s what I did. LOL. I made your coconut cake layers, but did not use coconut on the inside. Honestly, the cake is so delicious that it really doesn’t need coconut on the inside unless you really like it that way. I made it for a customer who was looking for just a regular coconut cake (no decorations). I did use an Italian meringue frosting (with coconut extract) and I put my coconut in the food processor to grind it down a bit so that it looked better on the cake. She adored it!!! Thanks so much for a great recipe!!
I made this today for my birthday because I NEED coconut cake every year. Full disclosure, I usually just grab a Pepperidge Farm Coconut layer cake because it’s easy but it was no where to be found. (I know it’s trashy and loaded with chemicals but there’s something nostalgic about it.) However, I also love to cook/bake and refused to be deprived of my birthday coconut fix. I halved this recipe and “oink oink, I’m a happy piggy!” Decadent, rich and irresistible. This recipe is going into my arsenal of keepers. Thank you for including *multiple* coconut ingredients. I was going to default to Ina Garten’s Coconut Cupcakes but the recipe has no coconut other than what is sprinkled on top, sad. Sally, you made my day!
Hi Sally!
I’m needing to make a coconut cake for someone soon that needs to be gluten free. I’ve tried to King Arthur Measure for Measure flour and it seems to work great for most stuff with no discernible difference from all purpose flour. Do you think I could use your cake flour diy trick with it or will that likely not work? And if I did just use the measure for measure, how much does it change the outcome?
Thank you so much! You’re my go to for baking recipes!
Hi Damien! You can try, but the results are usually a little different if using GF flours. I haven’t tested this recipe with any flour alternatives or GF flour substitutions. But please let me know if you try it!
Amazing. Delicious. This was a hit. I made this for my brother-in-law who LOVES coconut cake and this cake did not disappoint. We will definitely make this again!
This is SPECTACULAR! Followed everything down to the last gram – really appreciate that you put in the gram measurements so it’s really precise! Made this for our NYE family dinner and it was a hit. Poured on some dark chocolate ganache on top. I’ve never had a more moist cake! ❤️ Thank you!
I am currently making this cake and there seems to be a LOT of sugar (330g) in the batter – it had made a really thick paste with the butter rather than being creamy. The last coconut cake I made used a lot of sugar as well and left pale spots on the bottom of the cooked cake. Is this much sugar really necessary?
Hi Vicki, The amount of sugar listed in the recipe is correct! You can see in the video above at about the 45 second mark what my butter and sugar look like when creamed together.
Thank you. I warmed the butter up a bit more and it creamed up beautifully. The cake was delicious.
Hi! I did a 6inch layer cake and every single one of my layers collapsed a bit in the middle!
The cake layers also stuck to my cooling tray. Any tips for the future?
Delicious recipe!
Hi Boston, Did you use the same amount of batter in this recipe for three 6-inch layers? If so that would be too much batter per layer and the cake would be too heavy to rise properly.
