Fresh coconut cake

fresh coconut cake

This is a very old recipe handed down to me by my mother. There being no such thing as fresh-frozen coconut in my early years, she always got the whole coconuts to make this cake for holidays -- always Easter and Christmas, and sometimes for birthdays. My job as a child was to crank the sausage grinder which was used to grind up the coconut. Making this cake was always a major production, and it was invariably served with ambrosia, a fruit salad of pineapple tidbits, mandarin orange segments, and coconut.
