Jaime Deen loves his Momma's Coconut Cake. He too requests it every birthday! Jamie’s Coconut Cake _Recipe courtesy Paula Deen_ Cake: Basic 1-2-3-4 Cake recipe (_Recipe Below_), but


substitute 1 cup canned, unsweetened coconut milk for regular milk Filling: 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup sour cream 4 tablespoons milk 1/2 cup flaked, sweetened coconut Frosting: 7 Minute Frosting


recipe Flaked, sweetened coconut for sprinkling Follow directions for Basic 1-2-3-4 Cake, substituting coconut milk for regular milk.  While cake is baking, prepare filling.  Stir together


sugar, sour cream, milk and coconut in a bowl until well blended.  Remove cake layers from oven and allow cake to remain in pan as you prepare to stack and fill.  Remove first layer and


invert onto cake plate.  Using the wrong end of a wooden spoon, poke holes approximately 1 inch apart until entire cake has been poked.  Spread one third of filling mixture on cake layer. 


Top with second layer, repeat process.  Top with last layer and repeat process again.  (As I stack layers together, I stick them with toothpicks to prevent cake from shifting.)  You can


place the cake in the refrigerator for 3 days to allow it to absorb the filling mixture. Prepare 7-Minute Frosting.  Frost top and sides of cake.  Sprinkle top and sides of cake with


additional coconut. Yield:  1 three-layer cake Preparation time:  30 minutes Cooking time:  25 minutes Ease of preparation:  easy Basic 1-2-3-4 Cake _Recipe courtesy Paula Deen_ 1 cup (2


sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 3 cups sifted self-rising flour 4 eggs 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour three 9-inch


cake pans.  Using an electric mixer, cream butter until fluffy.  Add sugar and continue to cream well for 6 to 8 minutes.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add


flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour.  Add vanilla and continue to beat until just mixed.  Divide batter equally among prepared pans.  Level batter


in each pan by holding pan 3 or 4 inches above counter, then dropping it flat onto counter.  Do this several times to release air bubbles and assure you of a more level cake.  Bake for 25 to


30 minutes or until done.  Cool in pans for 5 to 10 minutes.  Invert cakes onto cooling racks.  Cool completely and spread cake layers with your favorite frosting to make a 3-layer cake.
