Great cake, Diane! I exchanged the veg.oil with the cream of coconut. I stuck with the yellow mix as I don't care for white cake. Used Pecans instead of the walnuts, and used coconut pudding instead of the vanilla. Shredded the coconut up fine. For the frosting I used my own made up recipe as the one here would have been too sweet for my family. I bought instant coconut pudding and 8 oz of cream cheese. Mixed together and spread on cake. Put a thin layer of cool whip on top of the pudding mix and topped it off by adding toasted coconut on top. Had never toasted coconut before. So good that way. Easy-just put in oven for a few minutes. Keep an eye out as they brown up very quickly.

This cake was very easy to make and everyone at work loved it. IN fact, I am making a chocolate version this week for another co-worker's birthday. I a scant tablespoon of butter to saute the coconut and then finished by briefly toasting it in the toaster oven.

Very Very tasty and it makes much cake mix. Everyone in my family liked it and I would say that out of three other cakes I made, this was the one that was finished. Only thing I would change is its sweetness. It was very sweet.

I used pecans instead of walnuts and vanilla flavored cake mix instead of yellow. The cake was a huge hit with my friends. Delicious and very easy!

I made this for a christmas party and needless to say I was the hit of the party. I even got a call after I left to let me know how delicious it was.

Ack! Too sweet for our taste. Hubby who has a real sweet tooth only ate 1 slice. We ended up throwing it out. If you make this be prepared, the frosting will make your teeth ache it's so sugary.

This was an easy recipe and the result was a wonderfully moist cake. I made a plain cream cheese icing and then scattered some coconut and nuts on top. It's a sweet cake and I thought two more cups of coconut would make it too sweet - and for our family it would have. Served it twice over the weekend to company and was asked for the recipe both times. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

I followed a bunch of others suggestions and used cream of coconut and store-bought cream cheese icing. I also made as cupcakes since they were traveling to a party. Delicous!
