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.

ReplyDeletejust looking at the coconut fuzz sprouting from the caked dome reminds me of Ma and holidays in Eunice. I can even smell the 5 gallon bucket of sugar in the white icing.
