This old-fashioned 3-Day Coconut Cake is absolutely delicious. It’s made with a mix and just a few more ingredients, and it’s super simple. The hardest part is waiting three days to eat it!

As popular as coconut cake has been, it’s not always easy to find. But there are places in Palm Beach that offer it.
