put the lime in the coconut cake
(2 ratings)
This is one amazing cake and so incredibly delicious! It is one of the winners from the Ultimate Throw Down Challenge on Food Network from several years ago. The creator of this cake is Doreen Howarth from San Antonio, TX. This is when the winner's recipes were put on the menu at TGI Fridays restaurants. My friend and I would go and try out different winning recipes...lol. Anyway, when this one won I just had to make it for my friend Sandy's birthday as she loves coconut and lime. It is also a very moist cake as well as bursting with flavor.
