How to Make an Old Fashion Delicious Coconut Birthday Cake

I have always loved coconut and as a child my mother would make them for my birthday.ч  Naturally, when I saw this recipe, I was intrigued.ч  My Mom always made me a coconut sheet cake but this cake is very good, too.ч  This cake is filled with apricot preserves.ч  You could change the preserves to the birthday boy or girl"s favorite flavor.ч  And a light touch of food coloring in the frosting could add to the presentation. It is a perfect cake for celebrations whether it be birthdays, anniversaries, showers, reunions, parties or just a family treat.ч  If you like coconut, you just have to share this cake with your family and friends.
