Grandmomma Carol’s Coconut Cake

Written by shemMinz on November 11, 2020. Posted in Recipes.

Wade Boal’s’ Grandmomma, Saltwater Cowboys

Ingredients

Cake:

3 boxes yellow cake mix (the closest you will get to our cake mix is Duncan Hines Super Moist Yellow Cake mix)
9 eggs
3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil

Filling:

1 box instant vanilla pudding
1 quart heavy whipping cream

Frosting:

4 pounds confectioners’ sugar
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 pound of shredded coconut

Instructions

For the cake

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk on medium speed until the ingredients have combined. NOTE: Be careful not to over mix the cake, whipping too much air into the cake will cause it to fall in the middle.

Spray three 9-inch cake pans with an even coat of cooking spray. Divide the cake mix evenly amongst the cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or when the cake is golden brown on top and a toothpick can be inserted and removed clean. Allow the layers to cool for an hour or so. Once cooled, remove the cakes from the pans.

For the filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix with the quart of heavy cream and whip on medium speed until a stiff peak (light and fluffy). Spread an even layer of the pudding mix on top of the first two layers of the cake and top it with the third layer.

For the frosting

In a mixing bowl, start whipping the quart of heavy cream on medium speed. Slowly begin to incorporate the confectioners’ sugar until fully incorporated. Continue mixing until the mixture reaches a soft peak (whipped cream consistency). Using a spatula, ice the entire outside of the cake with the frosting. Using your hands, lightly pat the shredded coconut flakes onto the frosting all over the cake until you have evenly coated the cake with the coconut.

Food, Drink and Atmosphere at Saltwater Cowboys

Saltwater Cowboys owners Wade Boals, Brett Yearout and Joel Olindo have created a dining establishment and atmosphere that will keep visitors humming “Happy Trails” for many years to come.

Boals, born and raised in Mount Pleasant, said, “I’ve never lived anywhere else, and my family has been in the food industry since 1933. We were the first family to do mustard-based barbecue in all of South Carolina. I kept that going through my catering business and now in our restaurants.”

Located on beautiful Shem Creek, Saltwater Cowboys opened on March 1, 2017, and recently lassoed a slew of “Bests” by readers of Mount Pleasant Magazine, including Best Place to Take an Out-of-Town Guest, and one of the Best for Outdoor Dining, Happy Hour and New Restaurant. The Travel Channel recently filmed there for “Food Paradise.”

Yearout and Boals are childhood friends, and also own The Noisy Oyster both in North Charleston and downtown, as well as Big Billy’s Burger Joint in North Charleston.

“Joel is from France and is a co-owner of Saltwater Cowboys only with Brett and myself, and it has been terrific,” Boals explained.

The idyllic location and exceptional views offered by Saltwater Cowboys has diners indulging in either the beautifully-appointed indoor dining space or on the large and comfortable outdoor deck. Affordable prices, and delicious, fresh-off-the-boat seafood or smoked barbecue and meats, as well as traditional Southern cuisine and other delectable items, assure that there is a delicious menu choice to please any palate. There is an extensive drink menu as well, with happy hour on tap Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The large and varied menu offers brunch, lunch and dinner, along with beautiful views, of course, and a bulk menu also provides options for family meals to go. Not forgetting our four-footed friends, there is even a menu for dogs, created in conjunction with Woof Gang Bakery.

Saltwater Cowboys hosts live music throughout the week, so be sure to visit their website for a list of upcoming artists, dates and times. Additional fun includes an all-youcan- eat oyster roast every Thursday and a weekday happy hour known as “5 on the Creek,” offering $5 creek snacks and drinks.

As for the origin of the name Saltwater Cowboys, Boals revealed his true grit by stating only that it was derived from a road trip with Yearout to Florida and a big, stuffed fish.

Use the horsepower from your boat, cars, motorcycles or legs and let the wonderful ambience at Saltwater Cowboys remind you to “keep smiling until we meet again.”
