I miss your mother. I miss her soft voice. It's been more than four years since I watched her make this cake. Finally I mustard up the nerve to follow your mother's recipe to make this cake. As a black child even into adulthood all i knew was how to cook and to bake like my mother and her mother's mother whom are in heaven. I really love that your mother reminds me of days gone by. As a southern girl, I don't want to call your mother by her first name, I'll call her Mrs. Phyllis, because she has earned that endearment. I truly respect and miss your mother.
Thank you Steven for keeping your Mom's videos for us to see. It is still such a blessing. Love her recipes❤, and i love to watch her. God bless you and yours🙏🙏🙏🙏
I made this coconut cake a year ago for my family members housewarming and they’re love it. But never know or pay attention the top of video that Phyllis passed away. My condolences to her family 🙏
My mom used to make this cake for me because she knew it was my favorite. Same egg white icing that I never could wrap my head around how she made it. She passed in 2008, so I watched every minute of this video. It was food for my heart and soul. How many times I stood in the kitchen and watched her make it and the time spent watching this was like watching her make it all over again.
It is my grandma's coconut cake exactly. Memories of Christmases long ago and though there were a good amount of desserts for our large family gathering, everyone oohed and aahed over grandma's coconut cake. Almost everyone has gone on to glory now, but that cake is a memory of magic.
@@amiedavis5257 hi Amie I guess God wanted them together I just loved them. I knew he had passed away. I don’t remember why do you? And I believe she had cancer maybe he did too but God let them go within four months of each other I believe there and having God bless their son.
@@starrfishhill yes, Mr Bucky died in his recliner there at the house. I believe he was having a nap. Phyllis did have cancer. Sadly, her daughter Renee died in 2009 as well. She and Mr Bucky took their kids on their honeymoon with them, it was a second marriage for both of them. I can't imagine being married to someone for over 30 years and losing them. I've been married for 18 years and it has flown by.
I have been following this trying to make a friend her favorite cake. I didn't realize the sweet lady showing me how to make it had passed. Thank you for leaving her videos up for us. She is a pleasure to watch.
Phyllis and Mr. Bucky are walking those golden roads in heaven. Her son is a very nice person. Hes going to continue her channel. He's adding his own favorite recipes and trying to put new ones up her hadn't added. I think this is fantastic. He talks like she did. A comforting voice. I shed a few buckets of tears as he was speaking of he. I'm not going to spoil what he's said, nor what he's adding. I will say, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for coming on her channel. I personally appreciate it. Have a blessed weekend. 🌿🌷🙏
Dear Phyllis, I am a chef and did not concentrate too much on baking. I do remember a homemade coconut cake from my grandmother which I loved!!! I had a 60th birthday Party to cater for a man who loved coconut. I used your recipe and got SO many praises!! This cake is amazing!!!! Thank you for posting it
Germaine Batiste... Hi there I'm a baker too. I use self-rising flour no butter I use oil.. My cake comes out very well and Moist!! Wish I could send you a picture of my Coconut Cake💛💛
This is it!!! I have been looking for this cake and recipe for years! When you said the icing got hard, my heart dropped! Thank you soooo much. Cant wait to surprise my sister with this during the holidays! It will take us back to grandmas house! A lifetime of wonderfull memories!
That looks amazing! My great grandmother use to make this cake. I'd give anything to have a slice right now! She passed away 12 years ago and i watched her as kid cook and bake and i learned all her recipes.. So thankful for the 16 years i got to spend with her.
This is the coconut cake recipe that my grandma always made for me when I would come to visit! The tears were streaming as I was remembering the memories!
Thank you for restoring my memories of Christmas with my Mother, this was her signature dessert. I can now make this treat for my family in her honor. You are an amazing cook.
@@gaoshengcha9177 I don't quite know. It was my mother that did the baking. I do remember how she had to drain the Crushed Pineapple over night before she could mix it with the icing.
Miss you so much Phyllis you were the sweetest lady and an amazing cook. God bless the family of Phyllis and Bucky thank you for stepping in for your precious Mother Steven
Made this cake last month for my mother in law and it was a huge hit! Totally worth making everything from scratch. I will be keeping your recipe in mind for another special occasion.
I made this for Christmas and my family loved this. My mother used to make coconut layer cake at Christmas time so it was nice to have it again. You are a blessing girl!
I treasure her vids. She was such a sweet lady. I think it ll be two years since her passing and so i m really happy to watch and hear her voice. May she rest in God s arms. Thank you. Watching from Malta, Europe. X
Oh my goodness! I love coconut cake and I have a feeling that this cake will forever be my annual birthday cake! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes as well as your stories..I truly enjoy them!
Dear Mrs Stokes this was the first recipe I clicked on looking for an old fashioned coconut cake it brought me to southern frugal I was so blessed in following yours and Mr Buckys adventures! Really miss watching you create great food! Hope to see you in the not to distant future cooking and recalling the old days! LOVE AND PRAYERS FOR YOUR RECOVERY!
So sorry to hear that she passed away.🥀Don’t worry her spirit lives on through her RUclips followers along with her recipe.♥️From my kitchen to yours keep on cooking!
OMG thank you so much for this recipe. My grandmother made this when I was a kid in the 50s. I have searched for this recipe for years. It almost made me cry to finally get this recipe for this glorious cake. Thank you! Thank you!
Beautiful cake. Brought back memories of my childhood when I would go over my grandmother's house and see a big white coconut cake on the table that either she or my cousin made. I would love to lift the cake over and run my finger through the icing. OMG, delicious. You definitely put a smile on my face today. Thank you. I think their recipe was from the fifties too. I was a kid in the seventies when I first tried the cake and loooved it. I even made the cake once for my grandma when I was a teenager and she loved it. She's gone now, but this video made me remember an awesome time in my life. God Bless.
My Mom used to make this cake sometimes when we had the preacher for lunch on Sunday. So good. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Praying you are doing well. Hugs sweet lady!
Was born 8/17/1947 i remember my grandmother making this cake when igot grown i made pineapple coconut icing for my cake in 1964 i started making coconut bread pudding i don,t cook much now had breast cancer 2yrs ago haven,t been the same
Great cake. I was born in 55. I was brouht up with this cake. Family members made it a lot. It was served a lot at church dinners. Great cake. Ive never made it
The best recipe I have seen for my all time cake(coconut). I’m late to your compassion, kindness, channel and baking artistry, but I feel blessed to have finally found you. May you rest in love!
My mother made german chocolate cake, seven layer jam cake, and all kinds of chocolate cakes, red velvet cake, but for my birthday, this is the cake i always asked for!!
I reckon she is, Gail Gregg. Just yesterday I was listening to the radio and someone said -- you don't really die, only the body gives out --- the spirit survives ;-) Happy little thought! We miss you Miss Phyllis! We hope you're doing what you like to do up in Heaven! xoxo
Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it out! It's hard to believe that I actually watched a whole half hour long recipe video. It's your charm and captivating kind manner of speech.
That's the way my Aunt used to make it and she passed away about 15 yrs ago. All her cakes recipes she kept in her head. And when she passed, all the recipes went with her and I thought I would never get her cake recipe with the egg white icing.. Thank you and God bless you for sharing. It brought many memories back!!!!!
Oh my, now you've done it! I love coconut and pineapple. I might have to modify this one to add some pineapple to the cake and frost it with the coconut icing. Lord have mercy, I'm gonna gain weight with this cake since no one in my family likes coconut. I guess I could freeze some it to have at a later date, but who am I kidding - I'm going to enjoy every piece!
@@Enkaiiiiiii it probably is a can of crushed drained pineapples, add up to a 1/2 stick butter, dash of salt, 2 -3 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup sugar... boil that on low to med heat to thicken. Don't burn it. Let it cool...add between cake layers. Pinterest has similar recipes
I have a dear friend from the South who just loves coconut cake. This recipe reminds me of my childhood in the 50's in the midwest. I am going to surprise her, and try to make her a "real one" with your wonderful instructions, for her birthday, next week! I tried your Pineapple Cake and it was divine. I can't wait for her to taste this! Thank you!
*You certainly are a very patient lady. Calming voice, too. That coconut cake looks & sounds fabulous!! I'm also looking for a recipe for amaretto cake. My daughter LOVES amaretto flavor. Thank you.*
My mom use to make a coconut cake with the egg white icing and it was a holiday tradition. The last time I made it was Christmas before she passed and I forgot a step for making the icing. Thank you Phyllis your video was a big help!
My mom use to make a cake and icing like this for my dad. She used black walnuts in the icing-was my dad’s favorite cake! I wish I had a cake like that again.
Hi Phyllis. I am happy to have found your channel with recipes from the '50s. Thank you for being relaxed when you are baking. It's also nice to know the measurements and possible options for different flavors, such as in the jello and cream cheese dessert.
Oh my dear angel Phyllis, how you bring back memories! Mommy used to make this same cake for us in the 50's too!! And, she always made it at Easter time with the green coconut nests cradling 3 jelly beans too. Since she cooked for big family, there was always a lamb cake with same boiled frosting patted down with coconut. And on our Birthdays, she used the same coconut covered boiled frosting tinted pink on our doll cake's big skirts. Your sweet son is precious for keeping this channel up and able to continue sharing you with all us late comers. Bless you son! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Phyllis, can't get no better than this , mama made this cake and I loved it! I was just sick about not getting her recipe and now I do, thanks girl I can't wait to make it🌷🌷
Phyllis, I LOVE coconut cake! I haven't had it since I was a little girl. My grandmother used to make it. She's long gone now. I bet she made hers just like you do. You are very precise in explaining how to do it. I'm thinking of trying it for Christmas. Wish me luck! Thank you. Looks delicious!
This reminds me of my grandmother's coconut cake. She was well-known in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC for her love of baking and she was very good at it. She loved nothing more than to spend her weekends in the kitchen churning out so many wonderful pastries, pies & cakes. She had an orange twist doughnut that was my favorite, right up there with her melt in your mouth coconut cake. She won hundreds of blue ribbons and a television station in Raleigh did a short piece on her when she took first place in every baking category she entered (cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, etc.) I have so many of her recipes tucked away and now I want to go dig them all up and spend some time in the kitchen. I'm going to make your coconut cake this weekend and can't wait to taste it. Thanks for sharing this family recipe, I'm sure it will go in my recipe book as a "must-have dessert".
Nina Nona I live the lemon filling myself. My mom use to make 3 later lemon cake for me plus she would make the home made ice cream. To have for birthday party. I miss it so much. I didn't take to making cakes but u did for the cream and fruit pies. Hmm yum yum
Mrs Phyllis is so dearly loved and missed an absolutely wonderful beautiful sweet soft spoken lady with such a beautiful soul she shall always be remembered with her amazing recipes with cooking and baking . Miss Phyllis 's cakes were absolutely beautiful made from scratch done with so much love and dedication ! ! Forever Loved ❤ and Remembered ! 😇
My husbands favorite cake that his mom made. I was scared to make it but after watching you with your good instructions , I think I just might try it. Thank you kindly for your video.
I have the ability to taste cake through the computer, I have eaten five slices of your cake with a lil Vanilla Ice cream. It is just what I thought it would taste like. DONE GOOD. Thank you.
Girl! Bless your heart for posting this! I've always wanted to make my mom a good old fashioned coconut cake like her mom made. Gonna make it for her birthday. Thanks again!!
Phyliss, my Mom, may she Rest In Peace, used too making her homemade coconut cake like that, with the homemade Icing! Delicious! God Bless You for sharing 💜☮️🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hay their I baked your cake for Christmas 🎄. It brought back memories of my Mother. So pleased to be able to share this memory with friends and family.
Thank you for this recipe. I will try this recipe for sure and most probably just add it to my recipe box. I have never seen the coconut you showed but i have never looked for it in the freezer department. I always get mine in the baking isle. I will look next time i am at Walmart.
Miss you a lot, miss Phyllis. So glad I got to experience your joy so many years ago while you were still here with us. Thank you so much to the family for keeping these videos up and going. My favorite is still that DELICIOUS pineapple upside down cake! Every recipe I ever tried from SouthernFrugal was amazing, and I’ll still be trying more. The gift that keeps on giving. So much love to your family.
Thank You so much for leaving your Mothers wonderful recipe’s on RUclips for all to enjoy because we certainly do! She was a beautiful Lady and wonderful cook!!!
This popped up on my homepage feed and I had to click on it! Reminds me so much of the early 60's and me, swinging my legs as I sat at the kitchen table and watched my grandma make coconut layer cakes (from scratch). The only downside, which I laugh at now, was her warning,"Don't touch that cake. It's for the church." The CHURCH?!!! (after I was sooo patient, lol). Great memories.
This is the first video I saw in your collection and it took me back to the days of my Aunt Bessie. She made the best coconut cake but she never taught me how to make it. Thanks for this video, I'm going to try it.
My grandmother from Alabama used to bake 3 layer coconut cakes for every family dinner, with the exception of Thanksgiving, when it was all about pies. I am absolutely delighted to get your treasured recipe! I just love you, Phyllis! God bless!
Your recipe looks delicious but the 50's recipe my Mom used had coconut milk in the batter and cream of coconut in the filling she put between 3 layers. She also used Swans Down cake flour which make a finely textured cake. She did make the meringue frosting or "7 minute" as she called it and topped with Baker's flaked coconut. It is the recipe I always use too.
This is very similar to the recipe my mother used, which was given to her by a woman who was almost 100 years of age in the late 1980s. It was a wonderful cake.
What a beauuuuuutiful coconut cake! My beloved Papa, Elmer Randolph, who passed on to be with The Good Lord in 2004 used to make a coconut cake with fresh coconut too! That was his culinary pride! Mrs. Phyllis' legacy will certainly carry on.
Gale Martin oh my I hadn’t heard this last time I seen Mrs Phyllis she was still not feeling well but I didn’t know she passed I am so sorry she was very precious and such a kindred soul 🙏🏾
When did Miss Phyllis pass away? I never heard anything about that. I was just watching her wonderful white cake recipe and was beginning to text her and I seen that she passed. I'm so sorry to hear that. She was such a beautiful lady. She is where she wants to be, with Mr. Bucky. I will miss her, but will continue to use her recipes. I'll have to get my recipe books out and start writing them down before they are deleted. Thank you for letting us know about Miss Phyllis.
@@peggybouley9730 She passed on January 25th. Her son has posted probably 5 videos since then. He is sharing his memories and starting more cooking videos to keep her channel alive.
Peggy Bouley Whenever I come across ANY wonderful videos on RUclips, I use a program that allows for not only downloading a specific video, but also any ‘play list’. Of course, these are for my personal use for later on down the road, and if any reason comes up for me to want to ‘share’, I make sure it’s okay first with the uploader, even if I am just wanting to send a copy of a video say to my sister or best friend. For that, though, I would usually just do the ‘forward the link’ thingy by email. But I have THOUSANDS of movies, documentaries, cooking videos, and much more, tucked away on at least TWO hard drives for later viewing, good-time viewing for when I become bed-ridden due to old age. Life is good, and God is wonderful.
I miss your mother. I miss her soft voice. It's been more than four years since I watched her make this cake. Finally I mustard up the nerve to follow your mother's recipe to make this cake.

My mother also make coconut cake like this but used fresh coconut. Took a long to time to make but oh, so delicious!! (Had to grate the coconut).
My mom used to fix this one too. Same frosting and everything, but she'd make a lemon 'filling' for the layers on between. YUM! 🥰
Hi Phyllis. I am happy to have found your channel with recipes from the '50s. Thank you for being relaxed when you are baking. It's also nice to know the measurements and possible options for different flavors, such as in the jello and cream cheese dessert.
She’s passed away now
Oh my dear angel Phyllis, how you bring back memories! Mommy used to make this same cake for us in the 50's too!! And, she always made it at Easter time with the green coconut nests cradling 3 jelly beans too. Since she cooked for big family, there was always a lamb cake with same boiled frosting patted down with coconut. And on our Birthdays, she used the same coconut covered boiled frosting tinted pink on our doll cake's big skirts.
Your sweet son is precious for keeping this channel up and able to continue sharing you with all us late comers. Bless you son! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Phyllis, can't get no better than this , mama made this cake and I loved it! I was just sick about not getting her recipe and now I do, thanks girl I can't wait to make it🌷🌷
Exactly how my MOM made it. Congratulations.
That old fashion cooking is the best.....from scratch 😋😊💖
Phyllis, I LOVE coconut cake! I haven't had it since I was a little girl. My grandmother used to make it. She's long gone now. I bet she made hers just like you do. You are very precise in explaining how to do it. I'm
thinking of trying it for Christmas. Wish me luck! Thank you. Looks delicious!

Love to watch her old posts. So miss you.
This reminds me of my grandmother's coconut cake. She was well-known in Charlotte and Raleigh, NC for her love of baking and she was very good at it. She loved nothing more than to spend her weekends in the kitchen churning out so many wonderful pastries, pies & cakes. She had an orange twist doughnut that was my favorite, right up there with her melt in your mouth coconut cake. She won hundreds of blue ribbons and a television station in Raleigh did a short piece on her when she took first place in every baking category she entered (cakes, pies, cookies, doughnuts, etc.) I have so many of her recipes tucked away and now I want to go dig them all up and spend some time in the kitchen. I'm going to make your coconut cake this weekend and can't wait to taste it. Thanks for sharing this family recipe, I'm sure it will go in my recipe book as a "must-have dessert".
My granny used to make this cake for my papa for his birthday. Thank you so much for this recipe!
My Mississippi Mama used to make this cake for my daddy. It had a lemon curd filling between the layers. It was his favorite cake.
Nina Nona I live the lemon filling myself. My mom use to make 3 later lemon cake for me plus she would make the home made ice cream. To have for birthday party. I miss it so much. I didn't take to making cakes but u did for the cream and fruit pies. Hmm yum yum
Mrs Phyllis is so dearly loved and missed an absolutely wonderful beautiful sweet soft spoken lady with such a beautiful soul she shall always be remembered with her amazing recipes with cooking and baking . Miss Phyllis 's cakes were absolutely beautiful made from scratch done with so much love and dedication ! ! Forever Loved ❤ and Remembered ! 😇
My husbands favorite cake that his mom made. I was scared to make it but after watching you with your good instructions , I think I just might try it. Thank you kindly for your video.
I have the ability to taste cake through the computer, I have eaten five slices of your cake with a lil Vanilla Ice cream. It is just what I thought it would taste like. DONE GOOD. Thank you.
Exactly how my grandmother made it! Excellent Phyllis, Excellent!

Hay their I baked your cake for Christmas 🎄. It brought back memories of my Mother. So pleased to be able to share this memory with friends and family.
Thank you for this recipe. I will try this recipe for sure and most probably just add it to my recipe box. I have never seen the coconut you showed but i have never looked for it in the freezer department. I always get mine in the baking isle. I will look next time i am at Walmart.
Miss you a lot, miss Phyllis. So glad I got to experience your joy so many years ago while you were still here with us. Thank you so much to the family for keeping these videos up and going.
My favorite is still that DELICIOUS pineapple upside down cake! Every recipe I ever tried from SouthernFrugal was amazing, and I’ll still be trying more. The gift that keeps on giving. So much love to your family.
thank you Phyllis...you made that cake with so much love. looks delicious!!!
Thank You so much for leaving your Mothers wonderful recipe’s on RUclips for all to enjoy because we certainly do! She was a beautiful Lady and wonderful cook!!!
This popped up on my homepage feed and I had to click on it! Reminds me so much of the early 60's and me, swinging my legs as I sat at the kitchen table and watched my grandma make coconut layer cakes (from scratch). The only downside, which I laugh at now, was her warning,"Don't touch that cake. It's for the church." The CHURCH?!!! (after I was sooo patient, lol). Great memories.

I want that cake so bad now! great tips about making the cake, how to mix it and why you do it that way! Thanks Mrs. Phyllis!
Such a beautiful cake and memory. .this was also my birthday cake growing up..thanks so much Phyllis:)
I love watching your mom's videos and learning new recipes. I also love your videos 😊
This is the first video I saw in your collection and it took me back to the days of my Aunt Bessie. She made the best coconut cake but she never taught me how to make it. Thanks for this video, I'm going to try it.
My grandmother from Alabama used to bake 3 layer coconut cakes for every family dinner, with the exception of Thanksgiving, when it was all about pies. I am absolutely delighted to get your treasured recipe! I just love you, Phyllis! God bless!
Your recipe looks delicious but the 50's recipe my Mom used had coconut milk in the batter and cream of coconut in the filling she put between 3 layers. She also used Swans Down cake flour which make a finely textured cake. She did make the meringue frosting or "7 minute" as she called it and topped with Baker's flaked coconut. It is the recipe I always use too.
This is very similar to the recipe my mother used, which was given to her by a woman who was almost 100 years of age in the late 1980s. It was a wonderful cake.
What a beauuuuuutiful coconut cake! My beloved Papa, Elmer Randolph, who passed on to be with The Good Lord in 2004 used to make a coconut cake with fresh coconut too! That was his culinary pride! Mrs. Phyllis' legacy will certainly carry on.
So sorry to hear Miss Phyllis has passed. But she's with Jesus and her beloved Mr. Bucky. See you later Miss Phyllis. 🙏🙏🌺🌸
Gale Martin oh my I hadn’t heard this last time I seen Mrs Phyllis she was still not feeling well but I didn’t know she passed I am so sorry she was very precious and such a kindred soul 🙏🏾
When did Miss Phyllis pass away? I never heard anything about that. I was just watching her wonderful white cake recipe and was beginning to text her and I seen that she passed. I'm so sorry to hear that. She was such a beautiful lady. She is where she wants to be, with Mr. Bucky. I will miss her, but will continue to use her recipes. I'll have to get my recipe books out and start writing them down before they are deleted. Thank you for letting us know about Miss Phyllis.
Amen!
@@peggybouley9730 She passed on January 25th. Her son has posted probably 5 videos since then. He is sharing his memories and starting more cooking videos to keep her channel alive.
Peggy Bouley Whenever I come across ANY wonderful videos on RUclips, I use a program that allows for not only downloading a specific video, but also any ‘play list’. Of course, these are for my personal use for later on down the road, and if any reason comes up for me to want to ‘share’, I make sure it’s okay first with the uploader, even if I am just wanting to send a copy of a video say to my sister or best friend. For that, though, I would usually just do the ‘forward the link’ thingy by email. But I have THOUSANDS of movies, documentaries, cooking videos, and much more, tucked away on at least TWO hard drives for later viewing, good-time viewing for when I become bed-ridden due to old age. Life is good, and God is wonderful.
Miss this soft spoken lady and her husband, Bucky. Both in peace.
Fabulous. A taste of southern comfort food.
Thanks so much for sharing this family special recipe from the 50’s. It looks super delicious. Blessings!
