Orange Coconut Cake

    Are you enjoying this wonderful weather?  I know I am here in Atlanta.  It is not too cold, warm and breezy. I love this time of the year.  This time of year calls for a nice and sweet citrus flavor dessert.  I made this wonderful Orange Coconut Cake.

   

Coconut Layer Cake with Pineapple Curd Filling

    Fall is here!  Are you excited?  Its starting to get cold here in Atlanta. The mornings are getting very nippy around 57 degrees. Even around noon the wind is too windy for me.  I do not like fall. The cold weather, and bundling up in layers of clothes brings no excitement for me.  But I am looking forward to fall shopping.  I LOVE the fall fashion trend this year.
 
     Despite my hate for fall, I sure love the dessert and food dishes of fall.  The smell of  pumpkin, apple, and pecan brings warmth to me.  But that is not the case in this dish, since it resembles anything to do with fall. 

    I had a feeling for coconut.  I just wanted some coconut water and the coconut meat.  I could not find any whole coconut, so I had to settle for some Bakers sweetened coconut flakes and make a coconut cake. 

    I love this cononut cake.  It's moist, sweet and brings warmth to my cold days.  The even sweetest part is the pineapple curd filling with Coco Lopez in the cake and cream cheese frosting.
