This was a very popular recipe from back in the 70's and 80's. Recently I was feeling nostalgic and decided to make it. Wow, it is very rich and extremely sweet! Being totally honest, I would use a different chocolate buttercream icing than the one listed here. It just tasted sweet and not chocolate-y enough. The cake was eaten until it was gone though, so maybe I am not being fair. If you want a taste of the 70's you might enjoy this cake!
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 sticks butter, melted
1-1/2 c. flour
1 t. vanilla
1 c. coconut
