emily dickinson (the poet) coconut cake recipe
(1 rating)
I got this recipe when reading about her. As she was a recluse, she would write poetry and bake. She would give her baked goods to the sick and poor having them delivered or she would bind them in cloths and lower them out of her window to the children on the street. She loved to bake for others and this is a recipe she would make alot as it is a loaf and easy to send or lower from her window. I think she is enchanting! She wrote: " Hope" is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all ... Emily Dickinson 1861
