The cake is delicious and easy to make but the sauce can definately be cut in half and maybe less sugar, way too sweet. I buttered and floured the pan very well and had no problem getting the cake out. This is a "do over"!

This recipe was AWESOME! This recipe brought me back to childhood, when my Memaw use to make vanilla wafer cake. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out ohhhh so yummy! I buttered and floured my pan liberally. I used a pampered chef stoneware mini bundt pan. I was able to make 5 small bundt cakes from this recipe. I did not have a hard time getting the cakes out of the pan. I did cut the glaze recipe in half. I used the glaze on 3 of my small bundt cakes. I also made a plain lemon powder sugar glaze for the other 2 small bundt cakes. The cakes we delish! My family of 4 enjoyed 3 of the cakes. I gave away the other 2, to my mother in law and her neighbor. They both really raved about the cakes and wanted the recipe. I will definately do this recipe again!

This cake was delicious. I had no trouble getting it out of the pan but I think the trick is to use a tube pan with the removable center. I greased and floured it well and then after it cooled about 10 minutes I pulled the center tube out, ran a knife around the bottom and inverted the cake on a plate. It looked beautiful and got rave reviews. I agree with another reviewer that the lemon glaze recipe can be cut in half. I made the glaze recipe as provided and it was way too much. I also put a little baking powder in the batter. I will be making this cake again and I have already been asked where I got the recipe. Delicious!

Help! I feel like I let Trish's Grandma Yearwood down. Hubby & I read the recipe several times, then made sure we had all supplies before tackling the cake. We followed everything to the letter. After the cake had baked it still seemed too moist so we let it bake a little longer ... twice. The filling was still overly moist - much like a sponge with too much water in it. The taste is so nice, and we couldn't waste it, so we broke it into bite size piece, much like a bread pudding. The icing was just poured over the pieces as we served them. Can someone please let me know what we did wrong? I want to make the cake again and have it come out like the picture on the TV show. Any suggestions, or criticisms, I can take it, will be appreciated. Thanks y'all!!

Super Dee-lish! I too, had a very difficult time getting the cake to release from the bottom part of the pan (after reading the other reviews, I liberally buttered and floured, used a 2-piece tube pan AND went around the edges with a knife. Trisha, how in the world do you get it out in one peice?? Next time I make it, I've thought about maybe making a parchment sleeve that fits around the bottom... Or maybe have one person hold the top of the cake while another flips the pan? I don't know... I DO know that the cake is worth the extra effort in trying to get it out!

I made and took this cake to church prayer meeting. It was and is the most delicious cake I have EVER made. Trisha, this is not the only recipe of yours that I have tried. All of them have been extraordinary! Blessings to you and your sweet family. Ms. Trudy

Made this cake for our Father's Day BBQ. Absolutely delicious! I was worried about the cake being too dense so I made very teeny alterations. Since I used fresh coconut, I added 1/2 cup of the coconut water, and I added 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the vanilla wafers. The cake rose quite a bit and was a little lighter. I used a bundt pan and had no trouble removing the cake. One other thing, I made a small amount of lemon glaze with powdered sugar. By the way, the entire cake disappeared. Will definitely make again. I have a new coconut cake recipe.
