Cake:
Blend sugar and butter. Add other ingredidents as you would any cake, adding the eggs one at a time. Pour in prepared pans ( I use Bakers Joy). Either two or three 8 inch cake pans. Cook at 350º for about 25 minutes or until done. Cool

This will only be between the layers. Cook in double boiler until thick. Cool and then add the grated coconut.

Notes: This was always a Swalm favorite. My mother-in-law, Margie Swalm, made this at least twice a year. Once for her oldest son, Terry's birthday ( my husband) and she made it at Christmas. Really good. Was fun learning how to crack a coconut and draining the milk from it.
