This is my favorite cake & my first time making a cake from scratch other than a pound cake. I did use butter instead of the margarine feel it will give it more of a moist taste. I also grated my pecans & coconut flakes to almost like a powder form because I don't like chunky cake unless it carrot cake. Because of how I grated down the pecans it does change the color of the cake to a tan color looks really cool. Make sure you fold in the egg whites last thing, I gave this 4 stars instead of five because the instructions don't tell you , but you need to kind lightly bounce the cake pans on the counter to get any air bubble out of the mix. If you do not do this you will get parts of the cake to expand like a bubble which will kind of through off your layering. I let them cool for 15 minutes .. I DID NOT do the frosting as its said in this recipe, Look up WhIPPED CREAM CREAM CHEESE FROSTING on this site.. Make this frosting its much better & REAL cream cheese frosting taste like you at a gourmet creamy cheese Frosting.

I made this in cupcakes for Easter dessert and my Dad particularly LOVED it. The leftovers went to DH's work on Monday (made them Saturday) and despite several days in the fridge they were still tender and tasty. They did seem a little greasy when fresh-baked but after a day or so in the fridge that sensation completely mellowed out into goodness. I toasted my coconut and pecans and chopped them in the food processor so I could have an even distribution of goodies throughout my cake & frosting. Thanks for sharing!

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.
