Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 cup shortening (Crisco preferred)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp coconut flavoring
3 x eggs
2 cup white all purpose flour
1 cup milk
Instructions:
Instructions: Combine flour and baking powder. Set aside.

Cream crisco and sugar. Add 1 egg and mix well. Add coconut flavoring. Stir in half of flour mixture and half of the milk. Add another egg and mix. Mix in remaining flour and milk. Last add the final egg, and mix well. Pour into 9x14 pan which has been greased and floured. Bake approx 40 minutes at 350.

For frosting, I make a simple soft frosting of one pound of powdered sugar, cream, soft butter and a little coconut extract and top the icing with lots of (packaged) coconut. (Sorry I dont have the exact measurements for the cream and butter.) You can frost with your favorite recipe.

NOTES : Beverly says: This cake turns out great with any flavoring you prefer, and with any kind of frosting. It can be baked in layers or as a bundt cake.
