Coconut cake??

[CATHYKEE]

Does anyone have a recipe for a coconut flavored cake? I am craving a one. Coconut frosting would also be nice.

Thanks,

2 teaspoons milk
3 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

To Make Frosting: Melt the butter or margarine in a skillet.

Add the 2 cups flaked coconut and stir constantly over low heat until golden brown. Spread coconut on absorbent paper to cool.
