This is excellent. The frosting is so good, it almost didn't make it on the cake.

This is the best cake ever! My family loved it. Very easy to make and put together. Also keeps well in the refrigerator!It's a must for any kind of celebration, or for friends coming over for coffee!

I absolutley loved this cake but had to give it four stars because my guests had mixed opinions. I made it for my daughters 2nd birthday and loved how the cake was light and not too sweet. I went with some of the others reviews and used only 1 cup of the powderd sugar and made it the night before. I will make it again, this time for a different crowd.

I'm giving it 2 stars because I was told the cake was good, although it didn't all go. I know it got great reviews and maybe it was just my taste, but I really didn't care for the icing. I couldn't get passed the texture of the crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges. I also think I don't like cool whip in my icings. Sorry, but this just wasn't for my taste.

I treated this recipe more like a concept....lots of substitutions, and it still worked out wonderfully! I didn't need a big fancy cake, so I baked the cake in two 8x8 pans - one for now, one for the freezer. I used a coconut cake mix, and the 'low fat preparation'. For the 'frosting' I used fatfree cream cheese, the cup and a half of powdered sugar, then sugar free vanilla pudding mix, the crushed pineapple, just one can of drained mandarin oranges, and fat free cool whip. Even though I had reduced the 1 can of mandarin oranges, I still had plenty of topping, and the cake is really tasty, even with all the reduced fat and reduced sugar options I used. Thanks for this really lovely flavor combination!

THIS WAS SO AWESOME! I have a saying "if it's not chocolate it's not worth it." This was so good and light, I am all about chocolate and not so much on fruit. This had me hooked i'll make it again and again.

Amazing....My whole family loved it....Don't change a thing. My sister was eating the frosting out of the bowl:) Would like to try with other fruit like cherries, or apricot....It was so good I might just leave alone

HUGE compliments on this cake. Changed only slightly. I only used 1 cup of powdered sugar and found that was plenty. I used the juice from the pineapple, but not the oranges. I also found that the mixer was enough to break up the oranges, when I used high speed. Oh, and I sprinkled coconut over the top and around the sides. It made a nice presentation. I think that this could be made lighter by: using Cool Whip Light, Fat-free Sugar-free pudding mix, and light cream cheese. I chose this cake for our potluck because I also made the Cavity Maker Chocolate Cake from this site, which is very dark and heavy. It was a great complement, and many people had a little of both.

I just made this cake and the frosting is so delicious!! I can't wait to take it to my family party later today. I know they will love it. I did drain the pineapple as recommended and I used light cool whip. The consistency and taste were perfect!!

this was very good! I listened to the previous people who rated this recipe. I held back the juice and added it to the frosting as I saw fit. Since it was a rainy day, that turned out to be a wise decision. We used cheesecake pudding and it added a little more oommph. Everyone that tried it wondered why I didn't put coconut on it. Maybe next time. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!

I don't usually like to use cake mix, but I was in a hurry to produce a nice dessert, so I had no choice. Turned out great, and I'm glad I did. I dusted the top with the sweetened coconut. It tasted almost tropical. Yum! :)

Wonderful! I used a basic 1-2-3-4 butter cake recipe and used this as the frosting. The frosting was good enough to eat it without the cake! Will definitely make again!
