RASPBERRY COCONUT CAKE
My mom called to let me know that the next day we would be celebrating my leap year baby cousins first birthday. She said my Aunt Pat said to make sure I knew that we would be eating something besides "a couple of chickens"- a little family joke that if I don't cook, we only have rotisserie chickens from the grocery store.I asked my mom what kind of cake she would have, it was her first birthday after all- a momentous occasion sure to be captured in pictures. She said she thought maybe brownies. Well I didn't sleep all night, thinking about our little princess not having a birthday cake. I got up at 6 am., shuffled around in the pantry, and pulled out the ingredients to make this cake. I tinted the coconut pink using a baggie and 2 drops of food coloring. It was a pretty little cake and it looked so tempting that Adrianna dug right in fingers and all, and her big sister did too with a little encouragement from my mom. First birthdays deserve something special - like this cake. From Taste of Home Simple and Delicious.
