This recipe was printed in my church's cookbook "25 Years of Good Cooking at Westside Baptist Church". I ate it and loved it. Then I made it mine so here is my recipe. You will be surprised at how wonderful it tastes. I've made it 4 times in the last month. And it a cake mix too.. so that makes it even better. I just toast 1 whole large bag of Angle Flake Coconut. It will give you about 5 cups in all.
