I can’t even begin to tell you how lovely this yellow cake recipe is. I guess you’re just going to have to make it and see for yourself!
Check out what my pals over at Cinnamon And Spice And Everything Nice had to say about this recipe and cream of coconut:
This is a charming, old-fashioned yellow cake recipe with a soft, fluffy crumb.
I love the old-fashioned appeal to this delicious yellow cake. It is moist and fluffy and just plain old amazing. Those ladies sure knew how to bake up a wonderful cake back in the day.
Ingredients
2 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour, sifted
1 + 1/4 cup Domino sugar
1 tablespoon Clabber Girl baking powder
1 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 cup Kerrygold butter, softened
1 cup TruMoo milk
1 teaspoon McCormick vanilla extract
2 Eggland’s Best eggs
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus extra if needed
Whipped Cream Frosting
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl sift flour and sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add butter, milk and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping sides of bowl.
Add eggs, beat for 2 more minutes.
Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing equally among both. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Turn out and cool thoroughly on wire racks. Frost with cream cheese or whip cream frosting. If using whip cream frosting the cake must be refrigerated.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
In a medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese on low until light and fluffy, gradually beating in the butter. Beat in vanilla. Add confectioners’ sugar and beat until well blended. Add extra confectioners’ sugar if needed to get it to the right spreading consistency.
Whipped Cream Frosting:
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and chill with the whisk/beaters you will be mixing it with. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, then beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.

How is it a 100-year-old recipe? Eggland’s Best weren’t around then. Yea, yea, yea–it’s about the $$$$$–I get it.
It is a 100-year-old recipe. We choose to incorporate brand names into our recipes as a courtesy to some of our favorite products. I’m sure, 100 years ago, folks used farm-fresh eggs 🙂
