"I took this recipe from about 3 different recipes I had around the house.I f you can get some coconut butter, use it to replace the shortening! The coconut flavor in the butter adds to the cake and makes it quite tasty!"

  1. This was an excellent recipe. I was looking for one I used many years ago and lost. This was very close. The only thing not mentioned is to be sure and take it up from the pan immediately as it caramalizes and sticks.
     
  2. EXCELLENT idea with the coconut butter! I don't even care to try it another way. Fantastic recipe - thanks for posting it. :)
     
  3. I made this cake and it came out really moist, and tasty. The only thing I did wrong is put it in a pan that had a removable bottom, my fault, but the butter mixture seeped out of it. Even so, the cake tasted great. Also, I managed to flip it upside down and land half in the plate and half off :( again my fault! Have printed it out and having attempt number two tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe
