This the second time I've used this recipe and it was great both times. Everyone loved it. I did make a few changes. I used lemon pudding instead of vanilla and I added choppd pecans to the icing. The icing takes longer (at least twice as long) as suggested. Let the cake cool a bit before icing. And it's best if it sits overnight in the fridge.

The cake tasted great but I was disappointed that it fell so much. The instructions said to pour the topping on the warm cake. I poured it on shortly after taking it out of the oven. At that time it was very fluffy....when I came back 10 minutes later, it had fallen to half the size. It still tasted great, but was quite dense. I'll make it again, but will not start the topping until the cake is done and not put it on until it has had time to cool a bit. Also, the topping did take longer that 15 minutes.

This lemon-lime flavored cake bakes up nicely and the topping is awesome! In-laws and friends really liked, even passed the grandma test(the dessert expert in our family). I like the lemon-lime flavor and was very easy to make, followed recipe exactly.

Absolutely delicious! This gets eaten so fast you may want to make two at a time! Both my daughters asked for this recipe. I served it at a tea party and both of my friends asked for this recipe. I think I'll try this with a can of fruit cocktail next time. Thank you so much for sharing.

This recipe was great. Very good cake, indeed. The only problem I had was my grocery store only carries larger bags of coconut, so I didn't know how much to use. I put in a cup, but can anyone tell me how much 3.5 ounces is in cups??

This cake is super easy to make and comes out very moist and YUMMY! It was a big hit at a luau-themed party we recently attended. As for the topping: 15 minutes on low will barely even get the butter melted. I raised the heat to medium and was vigilant about stirring - it still took about another 20 minutes to be completely thickened.

I've made this twice and gotten rave reviews both times. It's always the first dessert to go at a potluck, I agree that the topping takes longer than 15 minutes.

I'm kind of new to making cakes. This was pretty tasty; sweet but not overly so. I have one complaint about the topping though. I think 15 minutes on "low" is not nearly enough to thicken up the topping, as it was still very liquid for me. So when I put it on the cake a lot of liquid was absorbed and probably made the cake even moister than it already was. If I make this again, I'll make sure the topping is much thicker before I put it on the cake.

I made this recipe for a potluck at work, and it was completely gone before lunchtime was even over! I had lots of requests for the recipe, and everyone was surprised at how easy it was. Will definitely make it again!

I tried this recipe to help me use up my overstock of cake mixes. This is an absolutely scrumptious cake! My family gobbled it up in just one day and is asking me to make another! It's a definite keeper1
