Coconut Cake Chronicles

When I was growing up, my mom would make a bunny-shaped cake for Easter.  It was covered in pastel colored shredded coconut... and I didn't like coconut.  She would leave one ear hairless so that I would eat the cake.

Times have changed and over the past year I've started to love coconut.  Coconut shrimp, coconut rice, coconut banana cream pancakes... I even made sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving with coconut milk.  So this year, I decided to reinstate the old family tradition.  I used a recipe based on Cooking Light for a coconut cake with fluffy coconut frosting.

The result?  Amazing.
