    Baked this for my family during the holidays, let’s just say I am now the favourite child

    Love coconut cakes, but this recipe is special and I’ll have to make it when the family are down next. I’ve been using John’s cake recipes for a while as he doesn’t disappoint.

    I made this and it's wayyy too sweet. I would suggest to put 1 cup of sugar in the cake mixture instead of two cups. You can always adjust sweetness with the frosting. Apart from that, the cake texture came out very well.
  • Hi John, we love your recipes here in the UK. Thank you for making our kitchen smell so amazing each day 🙏 👏😉
  • And a huge thank you 🙏🏼 for making this cake John! I think I requested some time back and I trust your recipes! 😊
  • Can’t wait to try this. I made your lemon cake and lemon cream cheese frosting for a party last weekend. Everyone loved it. Awesome John…just awesome. 😋
  • @darlenemc3586
    Thank you for the tip about not over beating cake batter because of protein activation. I had no idea. thank you, thank you, thank you! This cake looks wonderful.
  • @MilletteKish
    Fantastic demonstration. Thank you for the comments about coconut flakes application with the frosting.
  • I haven't cooked in a long time but after seeing the coconut cake recipe and the lemon curd recipe I decided to try to make it!  The cake is out of the oven and looks very good. I've made the lemon curd for between the layers and will make the frosting in the morning and put this coconut cake with lemon curd between the layers together. So far I am so impressed with the ease of the directions and with the video it was a breeze to make. I am so happy with the results. THANK YOU! ❤
  • That cake looks amazing! I love coconut definitely going to make this! Thank you 😊
  • Yes Please the Swiss meringue sounds so good. I would love that recipe. I also have used a whipped cream coconut frosting for a cake that is super light and tasty. I can hardly wait to try this. I just made apple fritters this evening with my grandson. They turned out great and we had a great time. Thank you so much.

  • @marjorie3174
    Just finished making this cake. I am not an avid baker, but it turned out really well. Wasn't hard to do. The taste test ia yet to come tonight. Well, I did sample the icing, and a crumb or two of the cake "accidentally" came off while I was icing it! Absolutely delicious.
  • That looks like my grandmother's Coconut Cake! She would make that for my Grandfather, and we would get some when we visited....timing is everything!
  • @msacoto268
    I made your delicious coconut cake. I don’t like coconut but the cake was absolutely delicious. My husband said it tasted like a professionally made cake. My sisters, love coconut cakes, loved it and they asked me where I bought the cake from. They couldn’t believe I made it. Thank you for the amazing recipe.
  • Yum yum!! Beautiful. My family and I love coconut cake. 😍 Thank you so much for sharing! 💜
