This was the recipe that Clyde used to make her famous coconut cake. Bake this cake and frost with Seven Minute Frosting. Sprinkle coconut (fresh) between layers and on top.
This is also the recipe that Mama used to make Daddy’s (P.J.) Birthday cake. Also she
used this for Phillip’s birthday cake with “bought” Duncan Hines Chocolate Frosting.
Chris and Kenny liked this cake, too. She usually made it for their birthday. Kenny liked
Seven Minute frosting.
