Awesomeness! I will only bake from scratch. It is the best. I know without tasting it you are going to be the queen of your house!
 
Would you please share the recipe? I love coconut cake.

I made the Paula Deen one. Here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/jamies-coconut-cake-recipe/index.html

I've never had this one before, but picked it because it's rated 5 stars everywhere. So, we'll see. I also picked it because I didn't have 3 days to make one of the 3-day ones. I'll let you know how it turns out. My parents love Coconut Cake too, but they've only had it but a couple of times since my grandmother passed away 6 years ago. And, she hadn't been able to cook for several years prior to that. Today is my parents' 49th wedding anniversary. So, I'm hoping this is really good.

There seems to be a million coconut cake recipes to choose from! And, rumor has it, no self-respecting Southern cook would ever put Cool Whip on a coconut cake. :)) (Although Paula has one for that too)

I don't know how many of you remember the Rich's Bakery, but I found a recipe online that claims to be the Rich's Coconut Cake recipe. It says it's a reprint from the AJC, so it could be authentic. That Coconut Cake was awesome! My grandmother used to order those for special occasions.

And, since my husband's not a big fan of Coconut Cake, I made him a Chocolate Chess Pie (that also claims to be an original Rich's recipe). First time I made that one too, so I'll let you know how it turns out.
 
That's the Rich's one I found too. I may make it next and compare. :))

I also discovered that my pie is Rich's "inspired".
