My husband and I really enjoyed this cake recipe. However, neither of us remembered to put the cake in the fridge after serving it at dinner and it sat on the counter over night - which, for most cakes, would have been fine.. But the whipped topping in this one went bad and we had to throw the whole thing away. :( I plan on making it again though!

This is a cake my mom would always make for us on our birthday's growing up, so now I use this recipe whenever there's a special occasion. Except I substitute in hazelnuts for the walnuts. Gives a slightly different flavor. Yum.

I made this cake for Easter. Left out the coconut and added pineapple. Made the frosting with 1/2 c. butter, 8 oz. cream cheese and pudding. I think I brought home two pieces. It was so good, will definately make this again and again.

Moist and tasty. I agree that this gets better as it sits. Make it a day or two ahead of time, we thought the texture was perfect and the cake was more flavorful after two days. I will double nuts and coconut next time

This recipe is GREAT. I used nuts, but not coconut. These cakes actually get more moist the longer they sit and are actually better the second or third day.I just made it for the 4th time using funfetti cake and vault as the soda. It really gave it some color and was just as delicious! I recently experimented and changed the flavors too. We made orange and butterscotch changing both the pudding and the pop.

I had some people at work request this recipe. The ones who didn't were the lazy ones who suggested I make it again for them!! Great recipe:)

The kids didn't like the coconut, but the adults loved it! Will make again.

Good. Nothing remarkable but everyone enjoys a baked good! I toasted extra coconut and sprinkled on top and used diet soda. Thanks for the recipe!

This is very simple and delicious. I love anything with pistachio pudding and I think I could eat the entire bowl of the topping without even bothering with the cake. I did use the coconut and the nuts because the only think I like better than pistachio pudding is coconut... so this is a perfect recipe for me. I can tell it'd be just fine without those, though.

My grandmother used to make this cake every time we visited. Until I found the recipe here I did not realize it was so simple to make. Now I'll continue the tradition!

If you're looking for a great, different, cake to make this is it! I added a half cup of chocolate chips for the kids. We will definitely add this to our list of favorites.

I'm diabetic, so I couldn't eat it, but my mother asked me for the recipe. It had to have very good or she would have told me. Most people will say its good to make me feel good, bet she always tells me if it wasn't up to her standards. EVERYONE loved it. Will definitely make again, and so will she. I used Dream Whip instead of frozen topping.
