Coconut Cake
Guess who is at it again! Paula must sleep in the kitchen! As she writes: "Paula really loves the kitchen".
Ingredients:
As usual Paula comes through with a cake that can be used at a festive family meal. However, it demands attention, timing and concentration. That means no chatting on the phone or in ICQ while making it! The milk makes it a dairy cake. This gets a three for difficulty, though well worth it especially if you make fruit cakes with the same recipes. (Now we need the recipes for fruit pie as well!)

All the flour and mess to play with. I have a few dough recipes to work with. I will look for a fairly simple one as pie crust can be frustrating to a novice.
Also, if there are specific dishes you are looking for, just ask.
