Bakin' With The Cake Ladies: The Fresh Coconut Cake

A couple of months ago, I picked up The Cake Ladies by Jodi Rhoden. I have to say this is one of my favorite cake books because all of the recipes look delicious. Being new to the South, I thought I'd bake my way through the book and post pictures and reviews of the cakes as I make them each week.


 Since coconuts seem to allude the masses, I mean aside from granola and shrimp dishes, a lot of people just pass it by in the store labeling it "too much trouble." Jodi Rhoden's book takes this brown bomb and show you how to peel the inner goodness out with ease and turn it into a spectacular treat....The Fresh Coconut Cake.  This cake is delicious without the frosting, which I recommend not making unless you have a double boiler (I had to improvise). The Fresh Coconut Cake is a sweet treat that needs to be eaten within a day, so taking it to a banquet or office party will surely be worth the time spent....and don't be surprised if someone thinks you are a goddess with an oven.
