From the 1976 Brooklyn, CT Bicentennial Cookbook. Recipe submitted by Evelyn Spencer.
Note: I have copied this recipe as written except for moving the oven temp info to the beginning of the instructions. I like to make this recipe with walnuts. This used to be my husband's favorite cake and I always made it for his birthday. He didn't like coconut, so I left that out, then I decorated the top of the cake once it was frosted with a circle of walnut halves. It always looked so pretty and it tasted so yummy!
