OLD FASHIONED COCONUT CAKE

Old Fashioned Coconut Cake image

This is an old family recipe. It originally called for fresh grated coconut and coconut milk. Due to the fact that so many times the coconuts didn't have much flavor or were bad, this recipe was revised to use the frozen coconut. It is one of the best coconut cakes I have ever had!
