Thanks for that! Does not look quite the same somehow, and the recipe I used wasn't a layer cake but I shall give this a try too.:)

My Edmonds book (1976 edition)has the same recipe that gr8stuf4me has posted for you.It was set out slightly differently on the page and was in imperial rather than metric.There is nothing to stop you from making it a one-tin cake.

The coconut layer cake is one of our favourite cakes! We make it in one tin as one cake - love it, and great the next day too.
