this cake is very very moist and the taste is delicious. i will make this cake again and again. as a matter of fact, i will make this cake for memorial day in about 2 weeks. i think it is best if you frost one layer and let of cool off in the refrigator and do the other two the same way, that way your frosting will not run. that was the only problem i had with the cake or maybe let your frosting chill in the fridge first. the cake is the bomb and i wouldn't change a thing about it. when the cake chilled, i was delighted because it was just what the other viewers said, don't change a thing about the cake. pay attention and follow the directions and you can't go wrong. thanks a bunch!

This is one of the best cakes I've ever had. I've made it two years in a row for my daughter's birthday--it's her absolute favorite. Great flavor! Bravo!!!

Great recipe but seems strange that it is identical to a recipe in The Cake Doctor recipe book??

This one is a family favorite. Perfect for summer parties--looks way more difficult and impressive than it really is.

This was great! I am not a big coconut fan and it was great. Big hit with the family. Fell apart when i put it together. Did not look pretty but the taste made up for it.

The cake was good and very strong tasting, very pink. I might have done okay just icing it with vanilla frosting. But the frosting listed was so packed with berries, nuts, and coconut it didn't seem to suit cake. It yielded a lot and overpowered the cake. I enjoy other icing combos with similar ingredients but this one didn't cut it. Maybe make the cream cheese frosting, ice the cake and then press the nuts coconut and strawberries on.

Excellent cake! For a great presentation, I melted semi sweet chocolate with a little shortening and drizzled it all over the top of the cake and then placed fresh whole strawberries on top.

Fantastic Cake. Followed the directions to the tee for the cake. Superb! Be very careful however on draining the strawberries for the frosting. I did not drain them enough and my frosting was a soupy liquid. To compensate for this I took a small portion of the soupy liquid and added a lot of powdered sugar. In the end it was all good and was a very great cake. A perfect compliment to summertime. Family liked it. Will definately use this recipe often just being careful on the frosting.

Ignore the previous reviewer, sounds like a mean spirited indication of her own lack of culinary skills - this recipe is fantastic. Perfect for the summer months when strawberries are ripe and sweet. I made this for the weekly meeting of a group of college students I mentor. They looked at it suspiciously when I served it but then fought over the leftovers when it was time to go.
