Any idea why this is called Rotten Coconut Cake?? Have you ever made this?

hardcase

Yes I have made this cake and it is a good coconut cake. A friends Grandmother always called it that when she made it, obvisually had a dislike of coconut.

It is called Rotten Coconut Cake because you are supposed to let it "rot" in the refrigerator for a day or two before you eat it for best taste.
