WHITE CHOCOLATE-COCONUT LAYER CAKE
This cake is special to me because I took a recipe I had been making for years and added my own touches. I incorporated fresh peaches and macadamia nuts to the batter. I also switched from dark to white chocolate. My family gave the results a thumb's up. -Darl Collins, Marklevile, Indiana
