ATLANTA — Many who remember Rich’s department store have a special place in their hearts for its Bakeshop’s coconut cake, which isn’t just delicious but also looks like a huge snowball.
Since Rich’s closed in 2005, there have been a few variations of the popular dessert floating around, but we have the recipe featured in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution back in 2008.
The proportions were modified for home bakers; it should serve 16. Be sure to read the recipe completely before you begin.
