She poured the icing on the layers and sprinkle the coconut on top. After she coated the layers she spread the remaining icing around the layers. She used her hand to pat the remaining coconut around the entire cake. It was so beautiful and delicious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523173198708838097.post-91279392351204635542018-09-07T11:22:56.331-07:002018-09-07T11:22:56.331-07:00My Mama is still with us!

The only kind of coconut cake I knew anything about until I was older. The only difference it seems is the cake itself. Of course, when my grandmother and great aunt's made it it was made from scratch too. It wasn't really a pound cake type ...it was just a yellow mix that was used for all their layer cakes. Chocolate, Coconut, Pineapple, etc. They made very thin layers so a cake could have anywhere from abt 4 or 6 to 12 (chocolate was usually more). And my grandma used a fork to poke her holes. Of course they didn't measure anything either...lol. When my grandmother was much older and the cake mixes had become so good she started using them for the cake itself. I'm not sure if my aunt's ever did or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523173198708838097.post-56037851164938137862018-05-07T10:02:34.449-07:002018-05-07T10:02:34.449-07:00I have been serching for this icing a very long t...I have been serching for this icing a very long time, my mother in law , uded to order a cake like this at Christmas! Mrs Stalling used to make them and we loved it and it had tiny sugar crystals in it and no one else made it like this! idk if she let some of the mixture cook longer or if she cooked it longer but it was some crystals in it...and i never knew how to even begin making it, so thanks a lot....i thnk it used to be a blue can of cream of coconut ...but you can't get that anymore...i think i will add coconut add a half a cup of coconut milk and 1 cup of reg and make it whole milk because 100 years ago that is what the probably used.... <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523173198708838097.post-38646544706869413782017-04-12T13:29:43.878-07:002017-04-12T13:29:43.878-07:00I had to call my Mom and she had to find her recip...I had to call my Mom and she had to find her recipe.
