Each season more beautiful than the last

Old fashioned coconut cake

It's winter and we're having our first real snowstorm of the season--Jonas, I believe it's called.  Last year, in the midst of the unrelenting snow and cold we decided to have a dinner party.  And though so far this year Fortuna has spared us, we thought it was time for another wintery dinner party.  Since snow is our theme, I decided that my grandmother's old fashioned coconut cake would be thematically appropriate--yellow Genoise with coconut custard filling and snowy white 7 minute icing.

I haven't made this in years--everyone loved it and it reminded me of her and the hundreds of coconut cakes she made for us in her kitchen in Eunice, Louisiana over the years.
