Preacher Cake~ Delicious and moist cake with pineapple, coconut, and pecans.
The coconut pineapple combo is just wonderful. I thought if the preacher loves this cake, then it has to be a winning recipe! Everyone asked for this recipe. It’s perfect for a large party, and the cream cheese frosting really makes it fantastic!
How Did It Get Its Name?
This is a simple cake with pantry items you may have just in case the Preacher shows up.
