Mango Coconut Cake
The original recipe is call; Is it Really Better than Sex? Cake by Paula Deen. You can find it at her website. She uses pineapple instead of mango and she uses more sugar.
Here is the version I made for Susan's party. It is pretty easy, just a lot of steps. Hint: Start out by toasting the coconut, bake the cake, make the mango sauce, cook the pudding, assemble all of the above, chill cake, whip the cream and frost the cake, have a cigarette when you are done, ha ha.
The cake serves up best if left in the refrigerator until serving time. Call me you have any ?? 528-7903
