I’m brand new to this site and loving every single minute and recipe. I think your daddy might be related to my father-in-law. He hates sour cream but loves food that it’s in (as long as he doesn’t know). But, heck, y’all he hates MAYONNAISE (he’s a true yankee)! ‘course he LOVES devilled eggs. Wonder what he thinks goes in them. LOL!

Christy,
I served this cake to the ladies at my Monday evening Bible study. We put dollops of lemon curd on it, and it was just divine! I have had requests to make it again and again and again… Thanks for the great recipe.

just emailed this to you so you’d get it sooner!

Hey!

I think the cake would work great as a bowl cake like you described! Its so amazingly good and that recipe gives you lots of frosting so yes, go for it! Let me know how you like it, okay?

Gratefully,

Christy

I was wondering if your coconut cake would be good made as a bowl cake. If I made it just like your recipe says, but then crumble or tear the cake in pieces and layer it in a punch bowl with cake then the icing, and layer until the cake is gone and then top it with the icing that’s left. Would that work? Should I make the cake like a layer cake or in the 9×13? What do you think would work best? By the way, I have all of the ingredients on the counter and about to make the cake. So if you get this in time, that would be great. : )

Thanks so much,

Maria Petty

This recipe is wonderful…I usually make it in layers because that’s how the recipe was given to me. However, I will not start making it as a layer cake – definitely much easier to store. Thanks for that tip.

Even people who don’t like sour cream, LOVE this icing.

Hey! I will do my best to remember that! I do all of my emails manually now (I pay for a service to keep up with email addresses and to send the email itself out but I input the actual post manually so no one gets spam) and I often forget little things. However, anytime I send an email out, that recipe is always on the front page of SP, if that helps!!
I will try try try to remember to put a link to the specific recipe in the email though! thank you for your help!
Gratefully,
Christy
