Well, here is still anothe recipe for a different coconut pound cake from Jerry McGraw. It does sound delish and know I will be making it in the next week. FYI…today, I made chocolate cupcakes and just made my buttercream frosting, but instead of flavoring it will vanilla, I put in coconut flavor and then died coconut green and sprinkled over the top. They were so good witht the coconut flavor in the frosting on top of the chocolate cake…..try it!
Saw your recipe for coconut cake on your blog today, thought I would share my mother’s with you. Definitely not as easy as the one you posted, but is very yummy also!
