Note, there is no coconut in this coconut cake recipe. :-) I think it's safe to assume it is to be frosted with a coconut icing.
Coconut Cake
1/2 c butter
1 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 c milk
2 c pastry flower
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Cream butter and sugar well, add eggs beaten, then milk last flour sifted well with baking powder. Bake modern oven about 15 minutes.
I found this recipe for coconut icing -
3/4 cup salted butter softened, 1 1/2 sticks.
9 Tablespoons shortening Crisco.
1 1/2 cups sugar granulated.
4 Tbsp all-purpose flour sifted.
1 cup milk
3/4 tsp vanilla extract.
18 oz shredded coconut
Cream the butter and crisco and sugar, then add the flower, milk and vanilla.
Beat for 10-12 minutes. (Thank God for kitchen aid!)
ice the cake, then add the coconut all over the icing, patting it down.
Grammie Smith lived through the depression, and was always very frugal. I haven't looked too closely at all the recipes yet, but I will share them as I do. This one is mixing up in my kitchen right now.
