This cake is absolutely divine. I lay no claim to creating the recipe but it is so amazing I wanted to include it in my collection here at Recipezaar. The Pioneer Woman can be found at /cooking. Ingredients:

1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup buttermilk |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese |
1/2 cup butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 (16 ounce) packages powdered sugar |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup coconut, sweetened flaked |

2. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
