This recipe turned out great! I didn't add extra coconut to the cake but I did add a little more coconut extract to the glaze. Yummo!

This recipe makes a solid, moist pound cake. I doubled the extract because I really like the taste of coconut. The cake tastes even better the next day (if you have the patience to wait that long). It is the first pound cake I've made by myself and it turned out excellent!

This is a beautiful recipe! I used olive oil instead of butter and powdered coconut instead of flaked. It had an incredible texture and was gone before I could take it out of the pan! Best served warm with a glass of milk. It's so yummy it didn't even need frosting.

Based on other reviews, I increased the coconut extract to 2 teaspoons and doubled the flaked coconut which I had pulsed in my food processor. It turned out incredibly delicious with nice texture. Thanks, Janie.

I was concerned with this recipe, at first. I made it in a bundt pan so that I could half it and use it as a base for my daughters bunny cake. It was really hard to get out of the pan, and the half I left sitting out overnight was like a rock in the morning. I worried about what was beneath our bunny cake. But everyone raved over this cake, the cake itself not just the novelty of it. The family requested the recipe so it was a hit over here.

Excellent! I made this yesterday in loaf pans. I made four loafs and they are gone! I gave them away to family for the holiday and everyone loves it! I didn't have coconut extract so I used vanilla instead and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

I made this for my wife and father-in-law. They both said "this is a keeper"; we all loved it. After reading other reviews, I increased the coconut extract to three teaspoons in the cake and to one and a half teaspoons in the glaze. I added ten minutes to the cooking time. Also, I browned 1/2 cup coconut in the oven broiler, then sprinkled it on top of the glaze after spreading the glaze on the cake. Thanks, Janie, "It's oh so good!"

I MADE THIS CAKE AND SPLIT THE RECIPE INTO SMALL CAKES AND A LOAF TIN. I CUT THE CAKE THAT WAS IN THE LOAF TIN IN HALF AND GAVE IT TO MY INLAWS. MY MUM IN LAW ATE ALL THAT WAS SENT IN ONE NIGHT AND THE FATHER IN LAW, WELL HE GOT NONE. AS GOOD AS HER MUM USED TO MAKE AND THE REST OF THE CAKE WELL THERE WASNT ANY LEFT SO YOU CAN TELL HOW GOOD IT WAS. I SUBSTITUTED SHREDDED COCONUT FOR DESICCATED WHICH MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE AND I DIDNT USE THE GLAZE. ALSO SUBSTITUTE COCONUT EXTRACT FOR VANILLA.

Im on the fence with this one. Its not bad, but its not great. I doubled the amount of coconut extract and flaked coconut, but I think it needs more than that. The first bite has a mild coconut flavor, but after that its less noticeable. If I make this again, I would replace the milk with some sort of coconut milk. I think I would also add some coconut rum.

this cake did not turn out good for me. Don't know what went wrong but the cake had a hard crust on the outside and was not moist.

Though I will make again, I will not make exactly as the recipe states. This did not taste even remotely coconuty and I added 3-4 times more coconut flakes and twice as much coconut extract. I think I need to substitute the regular milk for lite coconut milk an hopefully that will bring out the coconut flavor. The texture was good and the flavor overall (minus the lack of coconut flavor) was good as well. Will double the recipe next time as this barely made anything! Also, real eggs are not needed to make this nor most any baked goods. I always use Energy Egg replacer and my baked goods turn out wonderfully!

This was ok. It wasn't as dense as a pound cake. It was still pretty tasty though. I didn't use the glaze.

This was delicious. I left out the nuts and the glaze was still wonderful. Great with fruit topping.

Great cake! I just didn't like the glaze - I would definitely make this cake again, just using a powdered sugar glaze instead. Thanks for the recipe!!

Yum! This cake is even better the day after it's baked. The crunchiness that the glaze adds is unexpected, but welcome. Definitely a keeper. My only suggestion would be to add a little more coconut extract to the batter.

Delicious coconut cake. It has just the right amount of sweetness and it's moist.

This is a wonderful recipe. It was very easy to make and had a great flavor. It was very popular at our New Years party. It went very well with coconut gelato.

My whole family loved this cake. We love coconut and this just hit the spot. I will definitely make this again and again.
