Very good frosting, but way too much. Will make again, but cut back on frosting. A little over powering.

This is fantastic! Definitely refrigerate the icing for a while before icing the cake.

I agree that it reminds me of an ambrosia type desert. Therefore, I sprinkle a bit of browned coconut to the outside icing which adds a bit more tropical flavor and makes the cake look finished.

I'm a guy and like to cook/try out new recipes. I have made this cake 3 times now, with no changes. It was a big hit the time I took it to a potluck and the comments were,"you made this, really?" As others have suggested, dental floss works great to divide the rounds, along with toothpicks as a guide.

The first time I made this I used an orange cake mix and put some orange rind in. I liked it but others thought a white mix would be better. . The second time I used a white cake mix. The icing was a little loose even with draining the fruit so the second time I also added another 4 oz. of cream cheese and a small package of coconut. I made two 9 inch pans and split the layers. I then took a hint from the Coconut Poke Cake on here and poked small holes in each layer as I assembled and poured coconut CREAM over each before icing. Wow! The eight in the dinner party ate most of the cake! Will make many more times!
