Everyone at my office said it was perfect! I couldn't find coconut cream, so I used coconut milk with half the amount of condensed milk. Real whipped cream with toasted coconut and slivered almonds topped it off. It was a hit!

Thank you for a really wonderful recipe. I have made it twice. The first time we had several friends over and they all loved it. I followed the recipe except for the whipped cream; using less than 8oz. One thing I did find is that it became sweeter and sweeter as the days passed. I think it may have been the coconut seeping into the whipped cream so I may try unsweetened coconut next time.

This was amazing. Everyone really loved it. I followed the recipe exactly except for the whipped topping. I have no idea how one could use 16 oz. I only used barely half that amount and it was just right. The ooey gooeyness of this cake makes it so delicious. But it isn't overly wet and is still good 2 days later. BTW, I used cream of coconut not coconut milk like some others. It was in the liquor section of the grocery store. It's what is used to make foo foo drinks.

A little too sweet, but with some modifications, could be a really great cake. Will try again with a little less sweetened condensed milk and maybe using my own cake mix (so I can add less sugar). Great texture, though, and I would definitely recommend taking the time to make fresh whipped cream. It's worth the effort.

I cooked this delicious cake up this afternoon. Three of us almost ate the whole thing. I messed up when poking the cake and made to large of holes. Other then that it was really good and i only added about 3/4 of the condensed milk recommmended and it turned out fine.

This is by far one of the best cakes on this site. I love love love coconut so this was perfect. I first tried this about 2 years ago and have made it many times since then. Everyone loves it, and I always get great reviews when I make it. I love the recipe exactly the way it is, wouldn't change a thing.

Eww....Really? I did the recipe exactly as directed. I really wish I would have left out the sweetened condensed milk and only used Coconut Cream. WAY too sweet- and I LIKE SWEET! Almost inedible. I may try this again as I love easy recipes but will DEFINATELY leave out the sweetened condensed milk- it sure doesn't need it! ICK!

I asked my mom what her favorite cake was because I try to make everyone a special cake for their birthday. She said, "Coconut." This is the cake I chose to make and I am so glad I did. It was a total hit. My family couldn't sop eating it. I was very reminiscent of a Tres Leche cake, as far as texture and moistness. I added flakes to the batter and halfed the condensed milk, as someone suggested in the reviews. Although I am not a big fan of cocnut, everyone in my family is, so I am sure I'll be making this cake again!

This is the best cake ever! I divided this cake into two pans to make it easy to share at work, well, one of the pans did not make it to work. Between my son, my husband and I , we devoured an entire sheet in the morning for breakfast. It is definetly way better eaten cold. I made the cake and soaked it the night before. In the morning I frosted and sprinkled toasted coconut on it. It was a huge hit at work. Lots of poeple are hesitent to try it because they say they don't like coconut, but end up eating second helpings. This cake defiently needs to be made in large batches, otherwise, you will have a riot. I used less soaking liquid then it called for because I didn't want the cake to be soggy or too sweet. I used about half of the required liquid and used an offset spatula to help the liquid into the holes. It came out perfect with only that little liquid, not too sweet or soggy. This recipe is a defenite keeper, who knew something so easy could be so easy to make.

This cake was a little wierd when I was making it. After applying the mixture over the hot cake I never thought the cake would soak it up, but it sure did. Tastes great on a hot day. Sweet but not heavy. Loved it! You must make at least a day ahead to get full flavor.

My family and I really enjoyed this cake. I read a review and used coconut milk instead of coconut cream. It is important to make larger holes in order to hold the mixture. A fork did not work very well.

Oh, this is good. Not for a dieter. The only thing I will change when making it again, is adding 1 tsp. of coconut extract to my cake batter.

My family loved this. I agree with other reviewers that the coconut flavor was not huge. I didn't try any of the suggestions to boost the coconut flavor, tho. Made in 9x13 glass pyrex, only used 1/2 the sweetened condensed milk, let set overnight in fridge and frosted at the party. Oh, and I agree that it definitely ony needs 1/2 the cool whip called for.

I agree with the reviewers who did not like the cake mix. I might try it again that way but as written, 4 stars. (However, if you don't mind the flavor of boxed cake mix, it'd be a 5 star recipe.)

This cake could be a 5 star if were not for the cake mix. I made my own cake, which was the Simple White Cake from this site, and it turned out fantastic. I will definitely make this again, but next time I will cut the condensed milk in half because it was too sweet.
