This was super good and very easy to make....I did follow Sunnybyrd and use store bought chocolate frosting which I microwaved and poured over the bundt cake. Also topped with toasted coconut. My friends loved it...thanks!

I had box of cake mix to use up, so I made this. I like the coconut filling, but a bit of almond extract might be a nice addition. I didn't have chocolate pudding mix, but I did have vanilla pudding, so I added cocoa powder to it. The only thing I didn't like about this cake was that it tasted like chemicals, but what do you expect with boxed cake mix and pudding mix? I didn't frost mine, but I think it would be nice with a chocolate icing.

Excellent cake! I only had 3 eggs so I had to do a little substituting and it still turned out wonderfully! My flaked coconut was also "sweetened" so I only added half the sugar just so it wouldn't be overly sweet and that was perfect. I made a chocolate glaze frosting (satiny chocolate glaze from allrecipes) and coconut on top and it was perfect. I would definitely make this again and recommend!

Did I do something wrong?? Macaroon? WRONG, tastes nothing like macaroons, and It did not taste very well. I could hardly taste the coconut in the center. Maybe You should double the filling, to try and save it I used cream cheese frosting, and toasted coconut. Dont think I will make again.

This is delicious - even better than the Bundt cake mixes I remember. I do recommend using a stand mixer for this recipe. This batter is extremely heavy because of the pudding mix. I used Satiny Chocolate Glaze from this site as a topping. Amazing!

Just something I came up with for the filling to make it much easier and it is so good. Mix 3 cups of coconut, 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

This was an okay recipe. It wasn't nearly as sweet as I expected it to be (I didn't add any kind of topping). I was mostly disappointed in the coconut mix on the inside. It wasn't creamy like I expected it to be. I might try this again one day.

I made this cake for a work party of my husband's that I wasn't able to go to. I often send cakes to work with him, so I was specifically asked to make a 'chocolate macaroon cake.' The only problem I had with the cake was that it started to rise too fast and furiously and I almost lost it over the top of my pan. I turned the oven down to 325 (which is what I usually bake cakes at, anyway) and it calmed down enough to stay put. For the glaze, I melted prepared chocolate frosting and added coconut and almond flavoring.I garnished the cake with toasted coconut and chopped toasted almonds. The verdict: H reported back that the cake was "awesome" and "better than the macaroon cake from Larry's Market Bakery." So thanks!
