My wonderful husband's birthday was last Tuesday.
He likes coconut, so I was anxious to try a recipe that I'd seen in Taste of Home back in 2011. (Yes, I saved the magazine. As I've said before, I save all of my Taste of Homes and go through them occasionally just for the fun of it.) It was called Incredible Coconut Cake and I was curious to see if the cake lived up to its name for a southern California surfer dude like my husband.
Let me put it this way: there are times that I make meals for Mike and he raves politely, and asks that we have them again. Then...less commonly... there are recipes that make him stop mid-chew, eyes popping out of his head, and say "Oh. My. Gosh. This is awesome!" This was one of those times.
If you're not a fan of coconut, pass this one by. If you like the flavor, though, this cake is a winner. Incredibly moist, and iced with coconut/cream cheese icing (included in the recipe).
Next time you want to indulge your inner surfer girl/guy, give this a shot! Link below, as always.
