Great cake. Used it for a wedding cake and people raved about it. Since I was using it for a large group of people, I omitted the coconut and pecans and it still turned out wonderful.

Excellent! I used round pans instead as I didn't have square pans and it worked just as well. I also found that I had mixed everything and then went to put the flour in only to realize I didn't have anything but whole wheat flour. I thought I'd give it a whirl as I was making this for a friend's birthday and didn't have time to start over. It turned out GREAT! I was thoroughly surprised. I also sprinkled more coconut over the top of the cake after I frosted it and it made it look very nice.

When I made this recipe, I got the following response: "Amazing." The cake was absolutely scrumptious and the frosting was delicious. I poured the batter into a (well-greased-and-floured) 11x15 pan, instead of doing a layered cake, and that worked out great. Highly recommended! People'll love it. :)

This cake is FANTASTIC. It's reminds me of carrot cake -- but without the spices. The other reviewer described it as dense. Well, it's as dense as carrot cake can be, but it's not a BAD dense. It's actually pretty fluffy and light. I made it in 3 circle pans (I don't even OWN that many square pans). Not sure why it's called Christmas cake -- I made it in July. Maybe it's someone's Christmas tradition... Anyhow. The frosting is AMAZING. I got absolute RAVE reviews from everyone that ate it!
