In Loving Memory of
Jordan Camino Evert McCracken
Remembering Jordan, Palm Beach Post
Notables Article
Jordan's Obituary
December 15, 2008 -
Jones, Foster, Johnston & Stubbs, P.A. announces with sadness the untimely
passing of firm board member, John McCracken's beautiful daughter-in-law,
Jordan. Jordan, an attorney at Lytal Reiter, was married to Jebb
McCracken in August of this year.
In memory of Jordan, and
in celebration of her short, but well-lived life, friends and family are asking
that you make and enjoy her signature cake recipe:
Jordan Evert
McCracken's Signature Coconut Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
Boxed white cake (and whatever the box
says, I like the one that uses the oil)
Extra creamy cool whip (the kind you get in the freezer section not the
spray cans)
Coconut flakes
13 oz. sweetened condensed milk
13 oz. coconut milk
Directions:
Just bake the cake according to
the directions on the box (I use a spring form pan).
Take it out of the oven do not remove from the bake pan.
Poke holes in the cake evenly (I use a chopstick to do this because I
think it makes the holes a good size but you can use anything).
Then in a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and
the coconut milk.
Pour milk mixture over top of the cake and evenly around the whole thing
(milk will pool up on the top of the cake when you first do this but
after you let it sit it will absorb into the cake and down into the
holes so the center of the cake gets nice and moist).
Let sit in your fridge until you’re just ready to serve (when I was
initially told how to make this they said wait forever like hours but I
think it tastes just as good if you let it sit for just about an hour or
two, with the bigger holes, it all gets absorbed).
Then flip over cake on to serving
tray and ice cake with whip cream (I’m not very good at this part and
mine usually looks a mess) but the icing should be on all sides and top.
Then just sprinkle coconut flakes on cake (again flakes should also
technically be on the sides of the cake too).

shoulders of one or two of its star trial lawyers, clients now describe the
group as being “full of fine attorneys who are business-oriented, responsive and
reasonable with respect to fees. ” Providing a “top-quality service that is on
a par with larger, more intuitional firms,” this outfit covers a wide range of
litigation; in particular it is in legal malpractice cases, probate and trust
litigation, and real estate litigation that it is seen to shine brightest.
