What’s the first thought that enters your mind after someone utters the term “butter?” Well, if your thought process shares any kinship to mine, then it would most likely be the Queen of Butter herself, Ms. Paula Deen. If you don’t believe in butter, then you probably won’t enjoy Paula’s cooking; however, most Southerners (and the rest of the Food Network nation) are more than happy to testify to the power of that melty, gooey, utterly delicious substance.
Fortunately for all of the butter lovers out there, Paula has recently added another cookbook to her library that is full of appetizing Southern recipes, hence the name Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible. 
When my best friend Britney (whose birthday is coming up on October 18th!) happened to mention that coconut cake was her favorite, I knew the first cookbook that I needed to browse for a recipe was Paula’s. Of course, she had a mouthwatering recipe for coconut cake in the baked goods portion of the new book. After gathering up all of the ingredients at the grocery store, I started home to begin baking this delicious coconut concoction. I snapped a few pictures during the baking process so that y’all could see my progress. Even though you can’t taste it, I just want you to know that I did, and it is definitely worth baking this cake if you are a coco”nut” like me (and Britney.)
Mouthwatering comes to mind, no?
I happened to catch Paula the other morning on the Rachael Ray show and she was making her coconut cake…
