I made this cake for my husband's birthday. I prepared the layers a day ahead and put them in the fridge to firm up. Then put the cake back in the fridge after frosting... (dusting the sides with the crushed pecans was probably the hardest part!) He loved the cake! Thank you for sharing this wonderful (easy) recipe...

I made this for my sons birthday. It was moist and full of flavor. People who don't normally like cake were asking for seconds.

This was the first cake that I have made from scratch so I am sure that I made a mistake somewhere. The icing was very heavy and slid right off the sides of the cake. The cake was completely cool and I put the icing the fridge to firm up a bit while the cake cooled and it still slid. We haven't eaten yet as I made this for a holiday meal tomorrow. Will let you know the reviews of the family. Updating my review to include that the taste was fantastic! It was a very moist cake. Even with the icing not being perfect, the family still loved it! I would possibly make this again.

This is one of the best cakes I have ever made. Made it for my daughter's 20th birthday, and the extra work was definitely worth it. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

I made this cake Saturday (a day that reached 108 degrees here in Oklahoma). I got great compliments on it. The only thing I changed was that I used only about 1/2 the called for amounts of pecans and coconut. It's so good and moist. The problem I had was that my kitchen was so hot I had difficulty with the icing being a bit thin and my fridge was too full to put the cake in. The flavors were wonderful and any problems just stemmed from baking in too hot of weather! Love this cake!
