One of the best cakes around! Big hit at a Thanksgiving party. Changed nothing in the ingredients. Took others advise and baked for 50 mins. Definitely a keeper!

Used lemon cake and almonds. Delicious and can use whatever you have on hand. Wasn't sure it was done but it was, the icing sugar turns into a glaze making it appear raw. Thanks

Absolutely unbelievable! I used a bundt cake pan and followed directions EXACTLY and prepared the cake mix using: four eggs, 3/4 cup oil and 3/4 milk. The cake looked beautiful while baking and perfect when I took it out of the oven. After about 10 minutes, it looked like it was starting to cave in. I left it in the pan for about five hours and when I flipped it out, it was gorgeous! The taste of this cake is like no other ... I will be making this recipe for all special occasions.

I used a coconut cake mix, and substituted pecans for walnuts. More like an Italian Cream Earthquake cake. Delicious!

I made this cake about 2 weeks ago. I followed the recipe almost exactly except for the walnuts. It still came out pretty good. I brought some pieces to work and my co-workers loved it. They couldn't get enough of it.

I made this for my christmas party and everyone loved it! It tasted great and very moist. I baked it about 55 min and it was perfect. I used about 3 cups sugar. I dropped the filling by tablespoons all over the top ,then swirled with a knife. I also used 1 tsp of coconut extract in the cake mix. This will be a favorite to make again!
