How to Make My Old Fashioned Coconut Cake

Step-by-Step 

1. To make the cake:
   
   Cream together Crisco and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Add baking powder to cake flour, then add to Crisco and sugar mixture. Mix well. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring. Bake in three 9-inch cake pans at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool.
2. Pineapple Filling:
   
   Place in 1 1/2 quart saucepan and cook 5-10 minutes. Mixture will be thin but cake will absorb the juice; punch several holes in cake with ice pick to aid in absorbing. Spread hot mixture over layers.
3. Sour Cream Frosting:
   
   Combine sour cream and butter in mixer bowl. Add enough confectioners’ sugar to make of spreading consistency. Spread on top and sides of cooled cake. Sprinkle with coconut.
