coconut cake
I grew up in Alabama. Here is my aunt's coconut cake recipe.
Make any good yellow cake in 3 layers.
Place first layer on cake plate, spinkle with good sherry. Frost with cool whip.
Sprinkle generously with fresh or frozen coconut. Repeat with next 2 layers, then
frost outside and press coconut to sides. Use as much coconut as you can get to
stick.
Cover loosely and put it in refrigerator. LEAVE IT THERE FOR 48 HOURS (My aunt will
be over to check!).
Take it out of the fridge an hour before you want to eat.
