This recipe is my mother's-she's an excellent baker and cook. There was always some new food for my three brothers and me to try when we were growing up! I enjoy baking, too, as well as gardening and making stained glass windows and lamps.-Juliann Nelson, Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, so I omitted it from the topping. The cake was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the coconut.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and it turned out great. The cake was still moist and flavorful, but with a richer chocolate taste.
