Coconut Angel Food Cake

"Submitted by Catherine Watson From her grandmother Luta Frierson Keith’s recipe, Anderson, South Carolina Catherine Watson fondly recalls her grandmother Luta Frierson Keith, who was born in 1892 and was affectionately known as Ma-Ma. Everything Ma-Ma made was heavenly, but this cake was Catherine’s favorite. “Ma-Ma appeared at the door every Christmas morning wearing her wispy little hat, leather gloves, and that mink tail ‘thingie’ around her suit . . . you know the kind where the mouth opens and hooks to a tail? She carried that mile-high cake, looking just like one of the Wise Men!” Catherine reminisces, "Tell me grandmothers don’t make major memories for the little ones. I am over 60 and it’s as if it were yesterday." Now Catherine carries on Ma-Ma’s tradition and makes Coconut Angel Food Cake every Christmas. When we asked Catherine to share a recipe with us, she wrote to Momma Reiner, “I have decided, Kimberly, that this is really fun! So many happy memories seem to revolve around food . . . especially sweets . . . and typing these recipes off reminded me of how often I have made them and all the calories that went out my front door!!”Recipe courtesy of Sugar, Sugar: Every Recipe Has a Story by Kimberly “Momma” Reiner and Jenna Sanz-Agero/Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2011...."
