Are you in, or from the South, Kris? I find that coconut cake such as
you describe is a holiday tradition in some parts of the South. It
was in my family... Always had a lemon filling, at least in my
family.

Not hardly - Michigan! (Go tonight MSU!) BUT my grandmother was from
Cincinnati, which is more south.

I don't do the lemon filling (although I've had some that way -
delicious!), just the seven-minute frosting with coconut pressed into
it. Just seems like Easter to me.

Thanks for asking,
Kris
