I am the recipient of this cake (today's my birthday) and it was probably one of the best cakes I have eaten. My coworkers made this for me and they said it was extremely easy to make (just look at the recipe) and, Lord knows, it was awesome to eat. Five stars is not enough to rate this cake!

I made this for California company, and it was just excellent. It's a great do-ahead dessert (cake and filling portion) and if your whipped cream and toasted coconut is prepared & waiting, it's quicky on the table. Everyone just loved it (including my yellow lab who reached up on the counter to lick off what was left in the pan). The toasted coconut gave it that extra kick. I recommend only poking the holes halfway down so the bottom of the pan isn't goopy. A nice grown up cake (verus the choc cake/skor/caramel version which our kids love but I don't)

This is an AMAZING cake! I made it for company, and everyone raved over it! It was very moist and delicious. I'm making it again this weekend for Mom's birthday - it's that good! The only thing I did differently was to put the coconut on top of the cake straight from the package - I didn't toast it. Other than that, I followed the directions exactly. Thanks for a great recipe!

MMMMM I made this cake for company last weekend and it was a huge hit! It would have turned out even better, though, if I would've poured half the milk over the cake while it was still warm instead of letting it cool completely and then pouring the rest on after a few minutes. With doing it like this, it didn't soak in as good as it could've. It still tasted so good and was so moist the first day, but then it started getting kind of dry since I didn't let it soak in properly. This cake had such a wonderful coconut flavor and the toasted coconut on the top really made it perfect! Thanks for such a wonderful recipe!
