3 Day Cake


This cake recipe is taken from Noodle's mom. It's a 5 day coconut cake that is refridgerated and you continue to add the sour cream icing over a couple of days, absorbing the moisture and sugar. Phenom!

MyFella and I were going to make it together for a family reunion he has today, but our schedule didn't work out to be together this weekend. So he's made it. It's absorbed the icing on the side so it looks a little bare. Since you have to make the icing up a night in advance and leave in the fridge, there's not any more to cover it. But it's his first attempt to make the cake.

This cake is crazy good. Crazy. Good.

2 LAYERS. LET COOL COMPLETELY. SLICE THE 2 LAYERS IN HALF TO

CREATE 4 LAYERS. PUT CAKE TOGETHER, ICING TOP OF EACH LAYER,

PLACING CUT SIDE OF EACH LAYER UP TO ABSORB ICING. STORE IN AN

AIRTIGHT CONTAINER IN THE REFRIGERATOR. (NOTE: THE CAKE WILL NOT

LOOK VERY PRETTY RIGHT AFTER FROSTING.)

OVER THE TOP AND SIDES OF THE CAKE.

( I SAVE A LITTLE OF THE FROSTING TO DRESS UP BARE SPOTS )
