This lovely cake gives a nice presentation. Several family members commented how fancy it looked. It tasted pretty good too. The whipped cream was not to heavy and the cake had a nice coconut flavor. Although it was a bit dense as Rose warns and perhaps a tad on the dry side. Although I did make a double recipe so perhaps I miscalculated somewhere.
Some kind of cake type potion...
Talcum powder...
Yeah, verily, the thick sludge of life we must all trudge through...
A pauper gazes at the cake in the window...
I hear Antarctica is nice this time of year...
Perhaps I went a bit heavy on those pina-coladas...
Mendy, it's so funny that we chose the same cake. Yours looks great! I thought about doing 2 layers, but I wasn't sure how well the whipped icing would support the second layer.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me giggle. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see some posts on this one, because I've *almost * made it a couple of times. I like the two-layer version--very pretty!
ReplyDeletegreat commentary! if the thick sludge of life really looks like that then i think we'll be ok...
ReplyDeleteMendy, love the Antartica comment! The cake looks great. I'm amazed you double the recipe (I usually halve it).
