Aunt Connie's Coconut Cake

"Aunt Connie made this cake for special occasions. It is as wonderful as she was, and I remember her every time I make it."

Ingredients :

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 3 cups white sugar
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 (7 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut

Instructions :

Prep : 30M	Cook : 16M	Ready in : 2H50M

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Grease a 10-inch tube pan.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
• Beat 1 1/2 cup butter and 3 cups sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
• Beat eggs one at a time into butter mixture, allowing each egg to blend completely before adding the next. Beat in sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with the last egg.
• Gradually stir flour mixture into egg mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
• Fold in 7 ounces flaked coconut, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Whisk milk and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture becomes very thick, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes; set aside to cool completely.
• Beat 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and shortening with an electric mixer in a bowl until mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Beat cooled milk paste and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract into sugar mixture to achieve a light and creamy frosting.
• Spread frosting over completely cooled cake and sprinkle remaining 3 1/2 ounces flaked coconut over the frosting.

Notes :

• At Easter, I usually take 1/3 of the coconut and mix with a few drops of green food coloring, use this on the top, and place a few jelly eggs around to look like Easter eggs on grass.
