Yum, yum, yum! Moist, fragrant, tender and simply delicious. Freezes well and tastes even better when you pop a slice into the microwave for a few seconds prior to serving. However, I'm taking one star off because I feel it would have been virtually inedible with 3 cups of sugar! 2 cups is just the perfect amount. I used 1 tsp of coconut extract which gave it a beautiful subtle flavour, dessicated coconut instead of the shredded and only 5 eggs (medium size), since I didn't want to risk an eggy taste. I will be making this again often!

Maybe I'm just not used to sweet tea, but I thought this was only okay. It was very, very sweet for my taste and a little too strong. I only steeped the tea bags for 10 minutes, but maybe the kind I used - Ceylon Assam - was simply too strong. I felt it needed some lemon or lime to give it additional flavour. Maybe I'm just an iced tea, not a sweet tea kind of girl. I liked the idea of the baking soda though. I would definitely recommend filling the glass pitcher with hot tap water and letting it warm up for a few minutes before filling it with the boiling water and tea bags, or the glass is very likely to crack!

The consistency was lovely, buttery, flaky and literally melt in your mouth. However, the flavour was very plain. It would definitely need some more sugar and a pinch of salt. Next time I'll try it with brown sugar for more flavour, because the texture was still great.
