Lumberjack cake

"Try as I might, I can’t trace the origin of lumberjack cake or why it is called thus. I can only think that – at a push – the shredded coconut on the topping is supposed to look vaguely like light coloured wood chips on top of a tree stump. But I couldn't find shredded so I used desiccated coconut - no pale shreddings because the topping turned all brown... But it also turned caramelized, gooey and delightful so I’m not in the end convinced I did it so very wrong."
