SWANS DOWN ORANGE COCONUT CAKE
I've found some old recipes and I'm feeling quite nostalgic these days and want to "safe keep" tried and true recipes from years past that taste great and were well received. This particular recipe came from the back of the box of "Swans Down Self Rising Flour". I remember making this for the 1st time when I was 11 or 12 years old for my nieces baptism.

[email protected]Not a fan of this cake. The texture was dry and the flavor was bland.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try reducing the sugar next time.

[email protected]This cake was a hit at my party! It was moist and flavorful, and the orange-coconut combination was perfect. I substituted almond milk for the regular milk and it turned out great. Definitely a keeper!
