I had my 6 year old son help me make this for dinner party one night. Very easy to make and so tasty!! Everyone loved it except for two people who don't like the texture of coconut. They did like the taste, however. We made it exactly as the recipe called for. The only thing I would change is maybe reserve some without coconut since that is the only negative I heard. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was wonderful! I took a shortcut and used a bag of frozen California blend vegetables but followed the rest of the directions as is. Everyone at my work loved it and I ended up having to bring several copies of the recipe to work the next day!

I was somewhat disappointed with this recipe after seeing all of the rave reviews. I decorate cakes for a side job and I had a customer who wanted a really good homemade yellow cake for her husband's birthday. I don't get a request for a yellow cake very often so I went looking for a recipe and found this one. I made one for me to try at the same time I made the one to decorate. I did not overbake the cake, followed the directions as is and it came out dry, heavy and very crumbly. The flavor was fair but the texture was awful. I ended up brushing the customer's cake with a vanilla simple syrup and coating it with a glaze before icing it in hopes it would taste better and hold up better. I was hoping for a fluffy, tasty cake but this was not it. I will not make this again.
