This recipe was not a success at all. I made it twice for 15 to 20 people. Most of my guests did not like it but one or two of them just loved it - I guess it's a cake that you either hate or love but not a general crowd pleaser. Since I prefer recipes that are liked by a wider range of guests I will not bake this again. Read More

Terrific and Easy! Reminds me of mom's recipe except she used 1 tblsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt instead of baking soda. Gives it cake consistency. I also made an adjustment to the topping. On the topping I used 1/2 white granulated sugar and 1/2 cup powdered sugar for the sugar called for. Also note: use unsalted stick butter and unsweetened coconut. Bring your mixture to rapid boil for at least 1 minute. Stir in vanilla after you remove from heat. This will make the topping set up beautifully. Great recipe, will use again. Thanks for the memories :-) Read More

If you love a coconut topping and very moist and tender cake with fruit inside this one's for you. It was excellent! It tastes best still slightly warm or at room temperature. We will definitely make this one again and again. Read More

I made this because my mom used to make this when I was little. The cake was as I remember it but a bit chewy. The topping was nothing to write home about. Honestly it doesn't need the topping it's perfect on its own! Read More
