Shelly, your mom's recipe is the same as my husband's grandmother's (and you are right - it is different than the other ones posted on this site). The only difference is that my grandma-in-law's has a teaspoon of baking powder in the cake batter. This is the yummiest cake that looks like you went through a lot more trouble than you really did! Some of the other versions don't have the coconut in it, so I bet you could get away with leaving it out, if you really don't like it. I am thinking I need to go buy a jar of marshmallow cream and make this again. :)
