My mum used to make this cake in the summer holidays when we were kids. Back in the days, when people were using coconut sun oil instead of sun cream, frying themselves in the sun. I'll never forget the time when my parents happily slapped a good amount of coconut oil on before realizing that it was off!! The smell... need I say more? Well, at least we had plenty of room on the beach that day =-)
