Looks great--I'll have to try it. In Charleston, we ate at the Peninsula Grill, and their coconut cake is so amazing people from all over the world order it. Google them and try it. It's one of the most amazing things I've put in my mouth.

This looks so good, how did it last long enough to take pictures?

Organicmama, I made it without my family being around, otherwise there would be no pictures. Once they all got home, the cake was gone within minutes.
