This picture might not do the cake justice,
but this cake is absolutely delicious!
It is moist. It is different. It is great.
Yes, I have made it a couple of times,
for those in my family that are
coconut-haters.
It was fine, but I like it
much better
with the coconut.
You be the judge!
Enjoy....

I was going to buy a fresh bag of coconut on the weekend but then I stopped because I figured I would never use it even though I always have good intentions. Now I wish I had bought some. Next time.
