How to Make Ina Garten’s Coconut Cake

This perfect coconut cake sets the bar for homemade cakes everywhere. It’s supremely moist with a soft fluffy crumb and intense coconut flavor. For success, follow this recipe carefully including using cake flour, egg whites, sour cream, and canned coconut milk.
Can you believe it?? After such a mild winter, it seems that now we are blessed with an early spring. Here at my house, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the crocuses are in bloom.

And of course all that has me thinking about Easter recipes!

I’ve got deviled eggs, pineapple stuffing, quiche Lorraine, and lemon meringue pie on the brain, lol!

So it seemed to me like the perfect time to overhaul my old coconut cake post. This originally published way back in 2016, and it made a big splash!
