1. Lovefoodies Super Moist Coconut Sheet Cake

This has frosting that contains creamy cool whip and more vanilla extract. Top it off with some grated raw coconut on the top and you have a great cake that you can serve for afternoon tea.

2. Sally’s Moist And Fluffy Coconut Cake

One of the great things about coconut cake is how presentable it is, and this cake really is no different. It comes with a wonderful floral decoration on the top, along with the conventional coconut shavings.

You can make this cake into any design that you like, whether it is a layered cake or just one tier. You can even make this into smaller cupcakes.

The sky is the limit when it comes to this recipe. This also comes with an incredible raspberry filling, although you can also add caramel drizzle on the top.

3. Bake Or Break Coconut Sheet Cake

This next cake recipe comes with a more subtle coconut flavor with toasted coconut on the top for that smoky and sweet flavor.

This is made with vanilla extract (what coconut cake doesn’t need that extra vanilla?), although it also contains coconut milk.

You can amend this one to make it vegan-friendly by adding almond or rice milk, although you might have to adjust the amount according to the texture.

It recommends that you use heavy cream as the top layer of the cake.

4. Spend With Pennies Coconut Cake

If you are looking for a coconut cake that is much lighter in texture, then we would nudge you in the direction of this recipe.

This comes with a few very simple ingredients, which means that it can be made a lot quicker than other coconut cake recipes.

This recipe requires you to whisk the dry ingredients into the bowl first before adding the eggs and the milk.

If you are going to store the cake in the refrigerator, then you’ll have to wait for it to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. This cake will last around 24 hours in the fridge.

5. South Your Mouth Coconut Texas Sheet Cake

This is a smaller coconut sheet cake, but we can assure you that it is no less delicious. It comes with a sheet of grated coconut on the top, which is embedded in creamy vanilla and coconut icing.

This recipe stipulates that you should use canned coconut milk only.

The icing contains salt and coconut sugar, all of which mix to create a sweet flavor with that little savory kick to it. This also teaches you the toothpick method that you can use to check if your coconut batter is moist enough.

6. Food Lovin’ Family Coconut Sheet Cake

If you need to make a cake for a large group of people, then this is the recipe for you. The blend of coconut milk and sour cream makes for a very moist cake.

This utilizes both artificial and organic coconut flavors, so expect a unique mix of flavors.

This is also made with vanilla extract and makes the perfect cake for a birthday celebration or even a white wedding.

7. The Freckled Chef Coconut Cream Cake

This next recipe we would describe as a medium grade in terms of difficulty level, which is great for those bakers that have some experience but really want to challenge themselves.

This comes with icing that is made from unsalted butter, but you can swap it out for salt if you prefer the flavor.

We would recommend that you either use almond or soya milk, although you might have to change the measurements to account for the change in consistency.

Now we go to a coconut cake that comes with a little more zest, as it is mingled with a little bit of lemon.

This cake has the balance between the batter and the frosting just right, so you won’t have to worry about toploading the cake (just make sure you follow the right measurements).

This cake is great for birthday parties and can be paired perfectly with drinks like lemonade, wine and tea.

The cream cheese and lemon combination are simply amazing and will leave a flavor that will last on the tongue for hours afterward.

10. Cooking Classy Coconut Sheet Cake
