I have made this cake several times now and it has never failed me yet. My mother who lives with me actually thought I bought it. Was I insulted or what. Thank you for making me look like a real star chef. deelyfire

I found the cake a little difficult to cut; I needed a very sharp, serrated knife.

Everyone loved this cake--lots of compliments. The coconut was a little tiny challenge but once you get started it is pretty easy. Try it --you'll like it

This was very good and easy to make. I had a little trouble getting the coconut flakes on the outside but it was soooo good. Thanks
