Absolutely positively scrummy cake. Make sure you make it the night before required so the flavours have time to "set".

    I baked this cake for my dinner group and everyone loved it! DH, DD & I think it tastes a lot better if left out of fridge until it comes to room temperature before serving, which makes it more "Juicy". Otherwise the coconut cream and condensed milk are solid when cold. Kind of like a Dulce Le Leche cake but with a tropical twist. DEFINATELY A KEEPER!!!!! Thank you cookingupastorm!

    So good! I do suggest making this in a pan you want to serve it in. I made it in a 9x13 pan this way when you pour all the rich goodness over cake it stay in the pan. I opted not to mix the coconut in the topping which I made using whipped cream. A must make very easy cake.
