Old-Fashioned Cajun Cake

When I show up at my mom’s, quite often she has a dessert baked.  I’ll admit that I get the best ideas from her.  One-Pot Cabbage Casserole is a reader favorite, and I owe that one to her.  Well, this Old-Fashioned Cajun Cake is no exception!  I went over there one day and got to sample this cake.  I immediately asked for the recipe, so I could share it with you guys.

Now I’ll be the first to admit that I was a little perplexed by the name Cajun Cake.  I mean it has pineapple and coconut.  Shouldn’t it be Hawaiian Cake??  I’m not exactly sure why or how it gots its name, but the name alone sparked my interest.
