Grandma didn’t have any instructions here. But I boiled for 5-10 minutes to form a syrupy filling. Optional. Toast coconut before adding to cooked syrup. Place cooled filling between and on cooled cake layers. Grandma always made hers several days ahead of time and kept cool. Enjoy! Thank you all for watching. Thank you all for the cards and gifts.
