Absolutely delicious! This is the coconut cake that I have been looking for! I used a white cake mix instead of yellow, only because I think a coconut cake should be white!

Fabulous cake! I made it as a 3 layer (9" round) and it is absolutely yummy and pretty! All I had on hand was white cake mix so I used it. It was a stretch to properly ice in between each layer and the sides/top with the suggested amount...I had to make another 1/2 batch of icing. Also had to use some common sense with the icing...it was to thick to spread (it began pulling up on the cake) so I thinned it out with more milk and voila-it spread just fine. This recipe is a keeper!

This is my favorite birthday cake. I omitted the nuts as I didn't have any, but they were missed, so be sure to make this one as directed. A+++

I needed a Coconut Cake recipe for Thanksgiving and Diane's was perfect. Nothing but great compliments and an empty cake plate at the end of the night ... the only empty dish in the house! Excellent ... thank you!

I made this cake for my husband's birthday and he absolutely loved it. He even liked it better then his own mother's coconut cake! I will make it every year for his birthday.

This is a super fast and very easy cake to make...15 minutes from pantry to oven. Caution - this is one big sucker and will easily serve many people. I toasted the coconut for the topping as it adds to the appeal. My husband had 2 pieces and said that the frosting is the best part. Me....I had 1 as it had a bit too much frosting for my liking. Oh...I used pecans instead of walnuts. Thanks for the recipe.

Very good. Even better if you toast the pecans first.

This cake was absolutely delicious!! After he had a peice, my uncle wanted me to make one just for him. This definitley does not taste like it's made with a box mix and the cream cheese frosting is scrumptious. Thanks for sharing this easy but elegant recipe with us Diane. My family thanks you.

DELICIOUS! I used my mom's from scratch yellow cake recipe instead of a mix, but I kept everything else the same incl. adding the pudding. I made a 2 layer cake instead of a 9x13. It was moist and had so much flavor! I was worried that a cream cheese frosting would be overpowering on a yellow cake but it was perfect! This is the only coconut cake recipe I need!!!

This is also known as "Rave Reviews Coconut Cake" and is a family favorite. We had it for my grandmother's 76th birthday 2 days ago. (This is the ONLY cake she has requested for decades...) There were only 1-2 slices left and we were celebrating 3 birthdays with 3 different cakes. This is an incredible cake.

Thanks for the recipe. This is about the 5th coconut cake that I've tried for my son who loves coconut. This is the only one that he's said he likes so far.

This cake was heavenly. I am a true coconut lover, and this fit the bill. I added a little coconut extract to the batter. The cream cheese frosting is so yummy, my 8 yr. old couldn't keep her fingers out of it! I baked mine in a bundt pan, and put the frosting in a ziplock bag, and piped it on, it was beautiful as well as delicious.

Oh my gosh!!! This cake is wonderful. I took a couple of you alls suggestions and made a 9 inch 2 layer. It was very pretty and scrumptous. I added chopped candied pecans in place of the walnuts and made a little extra frosting because we are frosting freaks. Will definately make again and again!
