    Excellent cake recipe. We left out all the strawberry and pink touches (so white frosting) and added Lemon Filling for Lemon Coconut Cake (search under lemon fillings this site). Comes close to duplicating a 1977 Southern Living Magazine recipe that I have lost (the filling on that one was lemon-orange).
