I loved it. I made a mistake & reversed the sugar & sour cream amounts. Ended up using 2 c. sour cream, 1 c. sugar & the coconut. It was absolutely a delicious mistake! When I make my cake mixes I use milk instead of water & 1/2 oil & apple sauce for the oil. You can't taste the apple flavor but it makes for a very moist cake. No matter what flavor including chocolate. I buy snack cups of unsweetned apple sauce and put oil in the bottom of the correct size measure cup. example: fill 1/2 with oil & a few tablespoons of apple sauce until it reaches the top of the measure cup. The cake is best mellowing over night. Actually any cake is better done the day before. It mellows & infuses the cake with more flavor. I made the filling the night before I made cake mix, just to save time. But, I noticed that the coconut absorbed the liquid from the sour cream & was really delicious & fluffy. I will do this again next time.I also think the sugar can be cut to 3/4 cup. I love sweet & this is plenty sweet. My friends devoured the cake in no time. My coffee gang loved it. Did you know you can toast coconut in a T-Fal type pan with no oil. The coconut has plenty of oil in it. Just use a medium heat & stir constantly & the coconut will toast.
