LEMON COCONUT LAYER CAKE
Absolutely delicious, and a classic. This version is very light.Perfect for summer. I got a low score below for this cake, I would like to say that it is Very IMPORTANT THAT YOU BEAT THE EGGS CORRECTLY. This cake is almost similar to a chiffon, which relies heavily on the eggs for a good outcome. I also recommend that for ANY recipe you make it to try before you give it as a gift or make for a gathering.
