Every now and then I get into baking/cooking mode. It had been a while since I baked a cake, so decided to make a simple coconut and cherry cake.
Here is the recipe
6oz butter
3/4 cup sugar (I have reduced this from 1 cup, because I don't like extra sweet cakes)
3/4 cup sugar (I have reduced this from 1 cup, because I don't like extra sweet cakes)

1/2 cup dessicated cocunut
1/4 cup cherries chopped

Graudually beat in the eggs + vanilla essense.
Fold in the sifted flour+bk pwder
Fold in the cocunut with teh cherries.
