keeps gettin' better

I've made this cake twice in the past month because it's that good. It's a cake that just gets more moist and flavorful over a couple of days, unlike a typical cake which gets dry and drier.

And that's why this is a perfect cake to serve during the holiday season. I mean, how wonderful would your life be if you knew guests were coming, you whipped this up the night before, knowing that you could serve this the next day with confidence? Or what if you are attending a pot luck, or giving some as a gift? It travels beautifully because the icing hardens, so it's not like a smear-able buttercream frosting.

that cake has a hole in it...

My lovely Father-in-law, Mark, had his birthday the day after Father's Day and I know he loves coconut, so I thought it was a good time to try out this recipe. 

Remember when I talked about getting this cookbook and was anxious to try something from it? Well I followed the recipe exactly and it is one of the most moist, soft cakes I've ever had. That's saying a lot, especially since it came out of a Bundt pan, because those cakes tend to be a bit firmer.
