For anyone trying to decide which pan size to use (the video states three 8" and the website says three 9"), I made it with two 9" pans and baked at 350F for 36 minutes.The cakes had great texture and were very light. I also made 75% of the frosting recipe and still had about a cup leftover.

7:20 Just to clarify, in each pan, it's about 1 pound (454g) of batter, not 1kg (2.2 lbs). [Just in case any bakers panic if they've used scales to check the distribution of weight between the three cake pans]. The total weight of the cake batter is just about 1.4kg all up, so each pan should just about hit the 460g mark.

The little shriek while pouring the coconut was Fabulous!

John, I’ve used a flex edge beater for my stand mixer for years. It does the scraping for you, works great. I’m amazed that I never see anyone else using it! FYI!

Omg this is my new favorite cake. I don’t know how I didn’t come across this all these years. I loved your carrot cake and made that for every occasion but now I have a new favorite. I can’t believe this cake is so good thank you.

[YeaNo.]

Making this for my husband's birthday wanted to try something different this year.

Update: One of the best cakes ever. My husband's new favorite. Decorating was super easy too.

This recipe appeared in a cookbook from the 'Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi' first published in 1978 called 'Southern Sideboards'. It's truly amazing and so delicious, what a treasure!

I tried a delicious version of Italian Cream cake with raspberry jam/fruit filling layered along with the frosting. It went beautifully with the almond flavor. ❤️

Italian cream cake is a staple in any Texas holiday, and I am usually the one that makes it for my family. I've never used almond extract, but I may have to give that a try. Your cake looks delicious!
