Directions:
In a large bowl sift the together the flour, pudding, salt and baking powder.

Using a hand or stand mixer, mix the butter. Add the sugar and mix until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time and mix until creamy.

Add the flour and buttermilk alternating, starting and ending with the flour mixture.

Use Bakers Joy (my personal favorite) and oil two 9 inch cake pans. Evenly distribute batter in pans.

Bake cake at 335 degrees for 35 – 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when put into cake. Let cake cool in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pans to finish cooling.

Mix together the cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar. Icing the bottom cake layer , sprinkle some cocoanut and put the second layer on top. Proceed to icing the entire cake. Using plastic gloves, take cocoanut and lightly layer to the icing. Take a picture and Enjoy

Personal Notes:
The Basic receipt was my mothers, Susie Guinn . My mother passed in 2000 and I did not get the receipt from her.

This is mostly from memory and a little bit of tweaking. Everyone seems to love it and I hope that you do also.

Be Blessed.
