The Easter Cake Our Readers Come Back to Every Year
We’ve noticed one cake shows up again and again, and it’s no surprise why.
There is just something about Easter. It’s a holiday that is definitely steeped in tradition. Most will serve ham, set their table with a pretty plate setting, and celebrate with family and friends.
Over the years, we’ve noticed something. No matter how many new recipes we put out for this special holiday…there’s one Easter cake that our readers come back to year after year.
I bet it won’t surprise you which one.
It’s coconut cake.
Wait. It’s not just any coconut cake. It’s our sour cream coconut cake, and get this…it’s made with a cake mix. Yep, you read that right. Here’s the thing, you would never know it. It’s rich and moist, and the frosting is to die for.
WHAT READERS LOVE ABOUT THIS CAKE
This recipe has been saved more than 7,000 times on The Southern Lady Cooks and has received fantastic reviews.
“I made this cake for an early Easter celebration. It’s to die for. This is one of the most delicious cakes EVER!! I couldn’t believe how easy and a humongous hit!! Thank you, your recipes never disappoint.”-Carol
Another great thing about this cake is that it gets better with time. You can make it several days before Easter, and it will be perfect on the actual holiday. One of our favorite reviews is from Betty Rose:
“Best coconut cake I ever ate!”
This cake has stood the test of time because it’s easy, forgiving, and always a hit. It tastes like an old-timey coconut cake our mothers or grandmothers may have made, but not much of a hassle.
There is a chance you may remember this cake, too. My Nannie made this dessert, and years ago, it was very popular in the old-fashioned church cookbooks.
It’s also a very simple coconut cake.
The hardest part is waiting three days to eat it. Yep, you read that right…THREE whole days. Letting the cake sit for that long allows it to become absolutely delicious. Another great thing about serving it for Easter….making it ahead of time! Then you get to unveil it on the big day.
Why these Cakes Never Go Out Of Style
At the end of the day, these cakes are delicious and simple, and that is what will always keep people coming back to them. Once someone finds a recipe that works for them, delivers a fabulous end product and gets rave reviews…they will return to it time and time again. Both of these recipes deliver all of that more.
