Her Royal Highness, the Queen of all Southern Cakes
(sorry Emma Rylander Lane, but you know it's true)
The Coconut Cake
My coconut cake
Gran began the obsession 20 years ago
(really, has it been that long? Now I really feel old!)
She casually produced a glorious coconut cake and I've been in love ever since.
I will post my version for Thanksgiving. I'm also making one for our Christmas Party at church. They are asking us to make a dessert from our "heritage" - while most of the ladies are making something from outside the country, I'm sticking with my deep Southern heritage, thank you. So this baby will be coming with me to the party. She's a party girl, after all. I've even got a pretty cake stand for her. Actually, she needs a red one. Anyone know where I can get a red cake stand?
So watch for it!
