Sometimes good news comes from the past. I’ve just discovered, 5 years after it’s first printing, that House Housekeeping included my grandmother Eva’s Coconut Cake Recipe in their 2004 edition. And it’s still available.
There are few recipes more personally intimidating to me than my mother’s mother’s Coconut Cake. I’ve made it twice now. Most recently last Sunday, for Easter. This cake is a true family treasure, the kind that inspires holiday traditions, family folklore inserts for geneaology projects, and short stories that get published. If Mom had never told me how important the cake was to her family at Christmas, I would never have been inspired to write it down.
