As you know, The Cake Slice bakers have been baking our way through Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes by Alisa Huntsman and Peter Wynne. This month the group voted for Southern Coconut Cake.I just adore coconut cakes but I find that not to many people like coconut. I believe this cake would convert any non-coconut believers. The cake had a tight tender crumb with a coconut essence. And the icing?
Cream cheese icing is a favorite for many. I have to tell you that this version will be my "go to" icing from now on. I will use it on coconut, carrot, banana, and hummingbird bird cakes. The icing has the cream cheese flavor we all love but adding "meringue" lightens the icing to an indescribable level.
Unfortunately, I am unable to show you the layers because I sold the cake! I don't think the buyer would have been happy if I cut out a slice. If you would like to see more triple layer coconut cakes then head on over to The Cake Slice. You won't be disappointed. Until next time ...Happy baking!

Btw, I sold my 2nd and 3rd cakes too after the first tasting that is. Everyone was taken by its flavor. haha.
Looks MAGNIFICENT!!
How YUM...good money spinners you girls are!
Ooh, too bad you didn't get any :( I guess a little extra cash in your pocket doesn't hurt though.
It looks fantastic!
Your cakes looks wonderful. I'm sure the buyer of the cake was delighted with it
it looks soo pretty.
Simply beautiful. Love the whiteness of the cake and the shredded coconut on it.
Man, this cake looks divine! I am a huge coconut fan, as well, and I only wish I could convert more people to the way of the coconut. I can't wait to try this frosting that everyone is raving about!
I am positive the buyer loved it. It looks gorgeous!
Gorgeous cake! The all white is so pretty!
what's with those people who don't like coconut, anyway?? this such a delicious cake...and yours is so pretty, that i'm sure it was worth every cent to the buyer! the icing was divine--i'll make this one again, too!
WOW. That looks amazing. I'm going to be dreaming of that frosting.
(I totally forgot to make my cake...)
this looks so nice. I love coconut. I'm sure the buyer was delighted by this cake. :)
Delicious!!! I make a couple Southern Coconut Cakes each year for my mother in law, its tradition here!
that is beautiful! I love Coconut Cake.
A few questions: Well first, your cake looks GORGEOUS! Okay first question, is it possible to join the cake slice. Second, if #1 is possible, how often do you bake and is it mandatory (like those DB nazis... lol)?
nicely done, gigi! i think maybe i'll start trying to sell my baked goods--it'll take a load off my thighs. :)
You sold that beauty??
I did mine minus the buttercream cos it decided to curdle :(
i LOVE coconut, but like u said not many ppl are fans... but with a recipe like this, well, anything is possible :)
Yummm. I'd like a big slice of that cake!
love that you sold the cake! this is now definitely my go to coconut cake
I loved this cake. I like the flavor of coconut, just not the texture. Unless it's in an Almond Joy bar. :) Yours looks great!
This is such a great recipe and your cake looks so yummy!
Seeing all the shredded coconut on your cake makes me wish my husband liked it! This cake really was fantastic.
This one looks so good!! I'm really mad at myself for not being able to make this cake this month (super busy past 2 weeks), but I'll definitely make my first cake next month! <3
Your cake looks great.
Beautiful cake. One of my favorite frostings too. Especially on hummingbird and carrot cake. Great job.
I am loving this! It looks gorgeous!
Nom Nom Nom
I love coconut cakes too! It's funny 'cause when I was a child I just can't see coconut and now I like so much.
Gigi, your cake is absolutely beautiful and professional looking!!

That cake looks amazing! I've been looking for a good Coconut Cake recipe and I think this will be my next project. I also wanted to let you know that my very first layered cake I made(Chocolate Sour Cream Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate Peanut Buttler Glaze) came off the net from another blogger who got the recipe from Sky High Cakes and I have fallen in love with the book. If I didn't have to order it I would be baking with that book all the time! So, thank you for choosing that book, I'm a follower of yours now :) I've been thinking about selling cakes as well.....hope thats been going good for you!
Coconut cake is my favorite, and I completely agree with you--even people who don't think they like coconut fall in love after a taste!
not a big fan of coconut cake but i do love coconut creme pie...
Positively sensational looking. It looks divine and I absolutely want a piece.
i like this one !
