Remember, dear Reader, how I have talked about loving cake? After our trip I decided we needed a cake so I baked a coconut cake. I use coconut water (not coconut milk) in the mix. I sprinkle coconut on each layer before I put it in the oven. After the layers finish cooling, I split them and spread apricot jam between them. I finish it off with a fluffy white frosting and toasted coconut. And here is the result:

Yummm… I think I just gained 3 pounds just for looking.
Husband is not too fond of coconut, so I wouldn’t have that at my house.
A gal can dream though….

I’ll be over in a few minutes. I think a cup of tea would be perfect with my piece of cake!
