I first saw this cake at Ruggles Cafe, but I didn't get a chance to have a piece of it. I felt to guilty ordering and taking it home later to eat. So, I knew that I needed to make it, especially since this weekend was Jimmy's mom's birthday (more of an excuse to make it). This cake has been on my bake list for weeks, but I've been too tired/busy to make it (I blame it on baby #3 and Jacob's extracurricular activities).  The boys also helped me baked the cake too!! I had Jacob read out the ingredients for me, which he did very well, missing only a few ingredients. I was trying to sneak in some reading with him. I used this recipe since it resembled the most like that of Ruggles's strawberry coconut cake. The cake was good, but was kind of dense. The cream cheese frosting though was delicious!! I could not stop eating it.
