I use a variation of this recipe and it is fabulous! I add all the listed ingredients together including the coconut and nuts minus the milk. Bake for 40 minutes until carmelized/browning on top. Cool. Mix 2 cups powdered sugar with one 8oz package of cream cheese and frost. It's a huge family favorite.
I really enjoyed making this cake. It stays in the pan it was cooked in and the toping just pours over the cake no icing process needed. Everyone loved it and asked for it to be made again for the next day!
Oh my goodness this cake is to die for! I only put 1 cup of sugar in the cake and used regular milk in the sauce but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My whole family loved this cake. Beware it's addicting!
I searched for years before finding this recipe. This is my second time making it and the only change I've had to make is to increase the baking time by 15 minutes. Other than that this recipe is dead on. I don't normally have time to allow the cake to cool totally before pouring the sauce on but I don't think it really matters.
excellent flavor very moist quick and simple recipe. even my husband a pineapple and coconut hater LOVED this cake. i will come back to this recipe whenever i need a "tropical" type of dessert.
This was delicious but very rich. I cut the sugar in the cake down by one cup and it was perfectly sweet. Don't make the mistake of undercooking the cake at all as I did or you will end up with a cake soup in the center. If you like moist cakes such as Tres Leches you will love this. Overall it is excellent.
This cake is DELICIOUS! I would compare it's texture to that of bread pudding because of its moistness. It should be served warm.
I was bored by the idea of beating the frosting and just poured it straight from the pan. I also only used one cup of sugar for the batter - and it turned out pretty much spectacular. It wasn't as soft as I expected - really moist but still firm enough to not to fall into wet crumbs. Good stuff.
Not at all what I was expecting. The cake was drenched in the milk sauce and was more like bread pudding - but extraordinarily sweet. I will not make again....sorry.
