In reply to Bridget. Yay, Bridget! I'm so happy you love this recipe as much as I do! And yes, for three 8-inch layers you'll need 1.5x the recipe.

To me this is what a coconut cake should be! For 3, 8 inch pans should I make 1.5 times the recipe? I’m planning to make this tomorrow.

Thanks

I made this recipe as cupcakes for my baby’s first birthday (The Big One surf themed!), and they were an absolute hit. I love that you get so much coconut flavor without it being overwhelming or too sticky sweet. I’ll be making this one again!

In reply to Sadia. Hi Sadia! So, the butter and the cream cheese need to be the same temperature (room temp) for them to mix properly. Since the cream cheese went in cold and you softened the butter in the microwave, they couldn't mix properly. Next time I recommend setting the butter and cream cheese out on the counter for about an hour to bring them to room temp at the exact same rate. This should make a world of difference!

Hello! I tried the cream cheese buttercream and from the beginning the butter and cream cheese mixture started getting slippery and I could see liquid against the sides of the bowl. I did use the block cream cheese. Only thing I can think is that the cream cheese went in straight from fridge and the butter I softened up a tad bit in the microwave and then mixed it in the mixer to soften it up a little more. I guess at that point (when I added the cream cheese in) the butter had become room temp and that messed it up? After that the frosting wasn’t very stable, more slippery and when I tried to frost the cake it was FULL of holes I’ve had this issue before too with cream cheese so please help me out! Was it bc the difference in temp? Or any other tips? Thank you! It tastes great tho btw! lol
