Personal Notes:
This is just the best cake! I don't have any idea why it is called "Coconut Cake"! I use this icing if I'm going to be using decorator tools, otherwise I use a white red velvet cake icing and sometimes put coconut on it.

I've used this recipe for years when I need the cake to turn out of a pan for decorating or layer cakes. This is the recipe I use to make the Easter Bunny cake as well. My good friend calls it "Connie Cake" and bakes it in a sheet pan to use for strawberry shortcake.

I've seen this particular recipe also called "German White Cake".
