Tempt My Tummy Tuesday - Coconut Cake

Found this recipe about a year ago when a friend wanted Coconut Cake for his birthday.  This recipe is made to order for these reasons:

simple ingredients 

quick and easy to make
can be made ahead
leftovers freeze well

This is a great recipe to file under hospitlaity because of its ease and the fact you can make it ahead of time - two factors that make it a keeper in my opinion.
