Famous Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting

[akairo]

The recipe for Easy Coconut Cake calls for the "famous coconut cream cheese frosting", but fail to provide the recipe. I was also unable to find it in a search of "frosting." Is there anyone that can help? Thanks.

Where did you find this recipe? I checked my CL software and didn't see this recipe at all.

The recipe is on CL's recipe finder. And Tamara, I see what you mean about no recipe for the coconut cream-cheese frosting. I would email Maelynn Cheung, the BB administrator -- maybe she can track it down for us!

Oh, Maelynn??

The recipe is in CL Annual Recipes 1999 and is part of recipe for Easy Coconut Cake. (page 88). If you want the recipe for the Easy Coconut Cake, let me know and I will type out for you.

THANK YOU, MAMASUE!!!!!!!! Have you ever made a layer cake in round cakepans with this recipe? I was wondering how a pineapple filling would go in between the layers. Just a thought.

[Mamasue]

Cathy....I haven't made this cake but from experience with cakes and cake mixes, you should have no problem using round layer cake pans. Just check the time...it may take less time. I think that the pineapple filling would complement this cake and sounds awesome! Let us know how it comes out. :D
