No, I hadn't thought about that...for some reason I'm thinking more southern. I'll go online and see what I can find. But, if there are any out there whose grandmother's or mom's made a tasty coconut cake, please, remember me...I know, I know...bad, bad, bad for cholorestol...but a tiny taste here and there can't hurt. I'm on this cake baking kick for some reason...made an awesome chocolate cake 2 weeks ago, last week a dy-no-mite carrot cake...and now am in search of an awesome coconut cake. I think after that I'll try gingerbread cake with a hot lemon sauce...uh oh...I'm making myself hungry...
