I have a recipe for one that has coconut IN the cake, but I don't have
time right at the moment to look and see if I brought the recipe with
me when I started traveling. I am on my way to work now, but I can
check in the morning.
It is a really, really moist cake, but it is baked in a tube pan. I
suppose it could be baked in regular pans, though.
It has been a few years since I made it.
