11/2 HOURS.
SHORTLY BEFORE THE CAKE IS DONE, MAKE THE SAUCE. MELT THE BUTTER IN A LARGE SAUCEPAN
STIR IN THE SUGAR, BUTTERMILK, AND BAKING SODA, AND BRING TO A GOOD ROLLING BOIL,
STIRRING CONSTANTLY. Boil FOR 1 MINUTE. Pour THE SAUCE OVER THE HOT CAKE IN THE

RACK TO COOL COMPLETELY.
I have never met anyone who does not like this cake. Some prefer it without the sauce because it is too sweet for them, but all love the cake. Grandma

Lisa, I can tell you that it is very good. It is moist beyond belief. I hope if you do you like it as much as we do. connie
Hi there, I have an apple cake recipe that I really like - super dense and moist. But I've never tried coconut as an ingredient! I may do so - thanks for the tip.
Dear Antie eM, I would love to have your recipe.
I think if you like coconut you will really like this cake. It is also very moist. My husband would have me making it every few days if I would.lol. I would but I know that its not good for him to eat that much.
Have a very good day tomorrow and thank you for stopping by. connie
Yummy! Can I have a nibble?! :D
Dear Rebekah, if you were close enough, I would be glad to give you a piece. Hope your Thanksgiving was great. Ours would have been perfect if all our children could have been there but It was a time to remember. connie
