"Not sure where my mother got the recipe, but she has been making it for a long time. It’s an easy and low-budget option, but it certainly doesn’t taste like it! And if you’re worried about your calorie intake, you could always make the cake without the icing. I promise you, this is absolutely delicious even without it and it is the way my mom makes this, but hubs loves coconut, so I make the icing! Whatever nuts you have on hand work, doesn't matter at all!"
