Lemon Coconut Cake

This iconic cake starts with Hough’s signature white cake, with lemon filling between the layers. It’s iced with buttercream and covered with coconut flakes!

Way back in 1903, Lionel Pile opened up a small bakery on Hough Avenue in Cleveland. It grew in popularity, and at its peak Hough’s had a presence in more than 100 local storefronts and retail outlets, becoming a true Cleveland institution for its lineup of cookies and spectacular cakes. Hough’s Bakery closed abruptly in 1992, but in 1994 the brand was revived by Hough’s longtime head pastry chef Archie Garner Sr. as Archie’s Hough Bakeries. To this day, Archie and his family are keeping this Cleveland legend alive, and continue to make everything, including many of Hough’s longtime favorites, from scratch using the original recipes and high-quality ingredients.
