AUNT IRENE'S TOP SECRET COCONUT CAKE



Aunt Irene's Top Secret Coconut Cake image

This cake is easiest when cooked in a disposable 9x13 pan with a lid. Very simple cake to make. Mix right in the pan for less mess. Very moist and tastes great! My mother-in-law found this recipe and made it for a family get together. Her aunt Irene asked her for the recipe and ever since has claimed it as her recipe and refuses to give it out to anyone. We enjoy the story as much as we do the cake! So, here is aunt Irene's TOP SECRET Coconut Cake recipe! I hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we do.
