I’ve been trying to track down a copy of my Great Granny Naron’s coconut cake recipe, and I wondered if you might be related?! It was the McClure comment, my mother’s first cousin is a Raymond McClure in Mississippi. Unfortunately, I don’t know everyone’s names on that side, and I don’t know all that much about the Naron’s or McClures. Just wondering. And still searching for that coconut cake recipe.

Beautiful! I suspect that it was worth it, even if it took two days to make. It’s crazy to me that they had coconut cakes back then– I guess coconut just preserves so well even with all the poor transport.

Oh my gosh! I’ve been looking for this recipe and I think this is the one my mom used to make. Boiled icing with coconut on top! I can’t wait to try it. I took one look at the photo and I could just taste it all over again. Thank you so much for posting this recipe, my childhood memories of this cake are about to be shared with my family.
