Hi Lorna,

This cake recipe fits your description of rubbing the coconut with orange zest but the recipe wasn't sourced so I don't know it's origin. Also, I would be tempted to bake this recipe in layer cake pans or 9-inch square pans. Some people refer to 9-inch squares as loaves so that could be what was meant here. I hope this brings you at least a step closer to recreating the recipe.

Happy Baking!
