EASY SOUR CREAM COCONUT CAKE
This sour cream coconut cake is one of the best cakes on our website. It is light and fluffy with a creamy coconut frosting. It’s delicious!
If you love coconut cakes as much as we do, you must try out delicious Do Nothing Cake. It is from the 1940’s and you don’t even need a mixer to make it!
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS COCONUT CAKE
One of the things we love about this cake is it is made with a mix! Yes, we love cakes from scratch as much as the next person, but I promise no one will know it starts with a mix. It is so moist, and the frosting is the perfect addition. This cake is lovely any time, but we love it most during the holidays.
SWAPS
If you can’t find the cake mix with the pudding, you can make the cake with just the mix and no pudding, or you can add vanilla instant pudding to the cake mix. You will want to use the small package of 3.4 ounces. You do not make the pudding; you just add the dry ingredients to the cake mix. See the comments left by other people if you have questions about whether it works or not. Please remember you are not making the cake mix according to the box, you are just using the mix. Follow the directions in the recipe card or below.
I made this coconut cake
for my grandparent’s 67th wedding anniversary, and it was a hit! Everyone kept saying how delicious it was even the next day they were still talking about how good it was, thank you ladies for this wonderful recipe !! My search for a good coconut cake has ended, and I will use this recipe from now on!!
⭐TIP
Do not over-mix the cake; that is the reason why cakes will fall after the baking process. See the video for the consistency we like it to be. If your cake is dry, it was either over-baked or over-mixed. I do think you could easily freeze this cake. We like to store this cake in the refrigerator, it is wonderful cold.
