awesme cake recipe, Member Brooke.Davis

This is my first from scratch cake recipe I've followed. It was so easy for a beginner and tastes good enough for grandma's mouth to water!! I gave some to a friend of mine at work. I took him too much so a friend of his took home the rest. He and his mother tried it and have requested me to make some for them for Christmas!! Hope this encourages other beginners and more experienced bakers to try this recipe. I do add extra walnuts and coconut especially to the frosting.
