DELICIOUS! I filled this cake with Danish-almond filling Danish - Almond Filling by MEAN CHEF and poured Mom's Fudge Frosting Mom's Fudge Frosting by canarygirl on top. It's like a sophisticated almond joy bar! My only problem is that one layer broke when I removed it from the pan. I think it would be a good idea to let it cool at least 10 minutes before taking it out. Thankfully, I was able to patch the cake up and no one could tell it had broken! I did not cut the layers in half, and since I was using a filling and a frosting, I halved the syrup and poured it over the two hot layers which I poked with a fork. I could only find sweetened flaked coconut at the grocery store, and I assumed the recipe used UNsweetened, so I stopped at a health food store and found some unsweetened. I'm glad I did, because I think sweetened would have made the cake too sweet. My family and I thank you-we loved this cake. — posted Jul 18, 2004 resubitting review because I forgot the stars

This cake was deliscious and the coconut syrup really brought out the flavor of the coconut. Nice and moist too. I filled it with my warm weather cream horn filling and use that as a frosting too. It worked out very well. This is definately a keeper

My customer said "This is everything a coconut cake should be". Can't do better than that. Thanks!

This was delightful! Next time I may cut down on the sugar a bit - I made it without frosting and it was still very sweet. However, the texture was great and the coconut flavor was very good.

An excellent cake. We don't have round cake pans so baked it in a 13 x 9. It worked out just fine.
