I thought it was a great recipe. I made it for a work party and everyone really enjoyed it. I had left over topping that wasnt on the cake. I decide to used to on Christmas day as dip for the pull apart bread. Everyone enjoyed it as a dip!!

This cake is absoloutely scrumptious and it isn't that hard to make. I also like it because their aren't too many ingredients that you need and many of the ingredients listed are everyday things. I made this cake for our Chritmas Eve party at our "Italian family's" house. It was a huge hit! I would definitely make this cake again!

I made this cake for our Christmas lunch at work and everyone loved it. I did have several people ask me how I made it. I also used the vanilla pudding instead, it was great. Great for coconut lovers.

i made this recipe for thanksgiving. I did 2 things different with this recipe. 1 i used a oblong pan and 2 i used 2 cups of milk and poured over the cake while it was warm, just out of the oven to create moistness. it was all gone by the day had ended; it was exceptionally good

I made this cake for one of my Thanksgiving desserts and everyone loved it. Everyone thought I brought it at a bakery. It was requested for again for Christmas. It was so easy to make and fun.

This cake was so easy to make, and everyone loved it! My brother is reqesting this cake for his birthday!!! How cool is that. I used the vanilla pudding mix, and it tasted like store bought, but of course much better and fresher.
