I baked this cake exactly as indicated on the recipe with one exception. I replaced the coconut with 1 teaspoon of coconut flavoring since many members of my family do not care for flake coconut in their recipes. This is one of the top 5 recipes I am asked for. If I take it some where, I am guaranteed requests for the recipe. It is excellent if refrigerated for a while before serving. My recommendation is that you read the recipe in its entirety before you begin to mix. The mixture of ingredients is a bit different from most recipes. Try this recipe - you will love it.

I have used this recipe many times. I gently stir the mixture constantly during the final cooking phase to keep the nuts from getting too overdone. For a neat change, use cashews instead of peanuts. My family and friends fight over this stuff when I bring it to a gathering. It is always the first thing to disappear. And break it up into small bite sized pieces. Everyone is going to grab several pieces and it will last longer if it is in smaller pieces.

Very Good! After reading the reviews, I knew I needed to check this recipe out. The pancakes did not taste like bread to me, as a couple of other reviews have noted - they just tasted like a very good pancake. The texture was excellent. I cooked mine on an electric griddle at 275 - that was a good temp to use. I am real perplexed at the review given for this recipe on 1-18-07. I have tried many pancake recipes and this was as good as any I have ever eaten in my kitchen or at a restaurant. I stuck to the recipe and I cannot imagine how anyone could not like these pancakes.
