Very moist and delicious. You've got to love lemon to like this cake. I will make this again and try it with white or yellow cake to hopefully get a more Mt. Dew taste. This cake would also be fun to experiment with different cake mixes and sodas.

This was very good, very moist. I don't know if you are supposed to be able to taste the mt. dew, we couldn't but it made it moist. This was a big hit with out guests, and my husband who is not a big sweets person.

Sorry but I won't be making this cake again. I don't care for box cakes and this tastes like a lemon box cake with sweet pineapple and coconut on top. The flavors did improve the next day after I covered it with saran wrap, but still not a repeat for us.

I know I am in the minority here, but I did not like it. I did not care for the topping, which is just pinapple and sugar. The cake was very moist but all and all i just wont be making again.

I made this today for my husband, who loves Mountain Dew anything. I changed it a bit to reflect what I had on hand. I didn't have a lemon cake mix, so I used a yellow cake mix with pudding. I also added a tsp. of vanilla flavoring in with the cake mixture. When the cake was baked, I poked holes in the hot cake with the handle of my wooden spoon and poured the hot pineapple/coconut mixture over the cake, then cooled it in the fridge. When the cake was cooled, I frosted it with a container of whipped topping and sprinkled toasted coconut on top. (Almost like a Better than Sex cake.) Simple enough, but a really wet base cake. If I were to make this again, I wouldn't add a whole cup of vegetable oil. That seemed a bit excessive. I might cut it back to a half cup. Still, very good recipe for a cake. You can't tell that it's got Mountain Dew in it, but it's still very good. I think I might put a bit of lemon juice in the cake part next time, to make it more lemon-y.

Delicious recipe! I made this for the family and they absolutely loved it. I brought the rest to work and it was gone within minutes! Super moist and refreshing to eat. Don't be turned off by the Mountain dew, you won't know it's there.

Probably the moistest cake I have ever baked! It literally reminded me of "tres leches" cake where milk is poured into cake and its cakey yet incredibly moist. I was worried it might be too sweet, but I think it was delicious just as it was. It's a very dense cake, so it's hard to eat too many of these. Reminds me of springtime or summer time!

I've been making this for years! This cake always comes out perfectly moist, tastes like its from scratch entirely. My husband is obsessed with mountain dew-but allergic to coconut. I make the cake as the recipe indicates and I use store bought lemon icing. Thank you so much for the great recipe!

This is a really good cake, I like the topping, very pineapplely. I can't say whether the Mountain Dew plays much of a part in the way of flavor though, maybe you'd be able to taste it more without the topping. I was almost tempted to beat the cake longer that what the recipe says but I'm glad I didn't, my cake didn't end up with a hump in the middle; it baked relatively flat. The recipe didn't state whether or not to cool the topping so I didn't, I put it on my cake steaming hot, probably helped making the cake moist. I'm sure I'll be making again!

I followed the recipe to a tee and it was wonderful! Very moist and flavorful. I will admit my small children didn't care for the coconut/pineapple topping although for some reason they wanted to eat the coconut and pineapple beforehand!

This is the BEST cake ever! My husband is a huge Mt. Dew fan. I made this for an office party, but since I stole some of his Mt. Dew for the recipe, I had to let him have a piece before taking to work. He loved it. Super moist after chilling in the fridge and so, so easy to make. Will definitely add this to my recipe box!
