Susan, This looks simply amazing, I am drooling on the screen ! My hubby and son do not like coconut, but I don't care, I have to make this cake. I will call my sister and my best friend they will gladly help me eat it ! I am helping plan a 40th wedding anniversary party, I bet these would make darling little mini cakes. If I decide to do that I will take pictures. Thanks for posting, I wonder if this would qualify for the new FLOUR POWER contest ? I bet it would, try it ! No, never mind, I don't want to have to compete against this cake ! tee hee

If you make cupcakes, please post them. The cake is very good...I was going to use a marshmellow frosting with the coconut but I think it would have been too too sweet.

Susan, I made your cake today...It was fabulous! I made it a little smaller so I could try a few cupcakes too and they were equally yummy. Moist and flavorful! Thanks!

I don't like the texture of shredded coconut, but I love the flavor. I'm thinking about making this with coconut milk instead of the buttermilk, and maybe using chopped almonds to replace the shredded coconut. Is the buttermilk specific as a chemical use?
