Did anyone grow up in NC and remember a dessert called Green Coconut Cake?

My friend’s mom made it in the 70’s. He dearly misses it.

The cake wasn’t green, the name referred to fresh grated coconut. I can’t find this recipe by name online. There is one historical archive reference to it in Davie County. It is likely similar as other recipes, but I am trying to find the exact version for sentimental reasons.

I am hoping to find the actual “green”coconut cake recipe his deceased mother made. Perhaps a family recipe or a church/community cookbook that included it.

If this sounds familiar, I would appreciate any leads.

Thanks!
