My roommate texted me from work this message within minutes of her lunch the day i made this: "wow, thank you for the best meal i've had in a year". i made it as recommended with the Moroccan cous-cous and cucumber raita, and it was so good I was blown away I had made it at home--not a renowned chef! (all thanks to this recipe!).

The batter was good, but the topping was extremely fatty to the point where, even after the cake cooled, it still tasted very obviously of Butter. I would perhaps make this cake again, but I would *never* use this much butter again! (cut at least 75% of butter used). The ingredients sounded heavenly at first (pecans? coconut? pineapple? mmm), but the combination (at least cooked in so much butter) just tasted like a bland hodge-podge of unidentifiable flavors.

This was excellent and was well worth the three or so hours it took to make.
